HP's New '70s-Style Retro Calculator

HP Celebrates 35th Anniversary of Landmark Calculator
Most of our readers are probably too young to remember the slide rule. An archaic device for doing arithmetic that was the standard before the arrival of high powered and practical pocket calculators. HP is continuing its year long celebration of its 35th anniversary by honoring the device that almost single-handedly killed the slide rule -- The HP 35.

To mark the 35th anniversary of this engineers' favorite, HP has released the HP 35s, a powerful programmable pocket calculator (oh alliteration) in a design reminiscent of the original HP 35.

The new calc has much more memory, more functions and sadly ditches the original single line LED display for a two line LCD with adjustable contrast. The HP 35s is also only $60, compared with the $395 the original HP 35 fetched.
