    I delivered medication to a lot of senior buildings late 90's early 2000's I had one of my patients that was excited to show me one of these devices in here apartment , I exchanged emails with here. we stayed in contact using this. I think these companies missed out on an opportunity with these devices. I though It was ingenious, what a wonderful way for a senior that feels not able to learn a complete computer system. they could just turn this on and send emails to family and friends they may not be able to see in person due to mobility but could write to them! I though it was great! I jumped onto the computer craze in late 90's was surprised how many may age did not "too much to learn" I am almost 60 now and think of what people miss out on by not embracing new ways of staying in contact. My Dad was in his 80's and could run a computer and cell phone and text. I loved this device because it encouraged people to stay in contact.

    I bought an HP35 in around 1973 from an aircraft test pilot, for $200. It originally sold for $400 but the HP45 had just come out and the pilot was going to upgrade. When the HP45 came out it was also $400 and the price of the HP35 went down to $300. The original HP35 did not have a model number on the top of the case. They didn't know if it would be successful or if there would be any future models so a model number wasn't needed. Then when the HP45 was planned or had already come out, then they started putting 35 on the outside of the HP35 models.

    Enjoyable story. In the late '70s, my buddy had an HP-29C and I, poorer, had a TI-58C. We were college freshmen and entertained ourselves by writing programs to perform the same task (e.g. RNG to find select strings of numbers, saving the closest result per cycle) and running them side-by-side. In my old age, I've finally got my vintage HP-35. I had to rebuild the battery pack, but I enjoy using it. I also collect Voyager series calculators and the new Swiss Micros devices. The '70s were an amazing time.

    In 1972, I was in my second last year of high school. I heard about the HP-35 through an ad in Time Magazine and had to have one. I found out that my school could give me a sales tax exemption to buy one and that was it! All my savings, as a 16 year old, went into buying that HP-35! I took it to school and my maths teacher's eyes just glazed over...all of a sudden, he had a student that knew about something that was beyond him. My Chemistry teacher, on the other hand, thout it was great and wrote on the board...to 10 decimal places...things like the sin of e radians!...my gosh!.......It was an exciting time!

I believe I had a 20S too at some point. I also have a LaserJet 1200 I bought in 1999 and it is still my office printer.

    I have one of those battery packs you used. They are a little loose. If you cut a small piece of thin bubble wrap and place it on top of the battery pack, the cover compresses it and the battery pack makes better electrical contact. There is someone, maybe on eBay, who makes 3D-printed battery pack shells that accept AA batteries that will last longer than the AAA packs.

    On January 26th 1973 as a 19 year old kid with a semester of college under my belt I started as a trainee technician with HP at their Fullerton California office repairing the HP35 scientific calculator and later working on the HP80 business calculator and HP45 scientific calculator. I also worked briefly on the HP65 programmable calculator and the HP97 desk top calculator, but shortly after that HP centralized repair of their calculator products to their service center in Palo Alto and to a facility on the east coast to improve the repair process. I still have service manuals for both the HP35 and HP80 as well as a collection various parts (Including some of the infamous early ROMs that caused the log natural e to the x conversion error) and the stickers that you had to peel off to get two of the six case screws out. It was quite an experience working for HP in those times.

    HP calculators really had their start.in 1964, when Tom Osbourne designed and built a calculator and convince Bill Hewlett that HP could make money selling them. HP introduced the HP 9100 in 1968. Osbourne, and the team that formed around him at HP, designed the HP 35, HP 45, and other calculators. Woz was part of that team.

    I have an HP-35, which I got from my dad when he upgraded to an HP-45 (summer of 1974). I still have the HP-35 and it still works. In the spring of my senior year in high school (1976), I bought an HP-55. I thus became the first person at my high school--student or teacher--to have a programmable hand-held calculator. I am still waiting for them to erect the statue. 🙂 In the fall of my senior year in college (1979), I bought an HP-34C, which included the first hand-held built-in implementations of numerical root solving and numerical integration. Both features proved to be very useful. After I started my career in civil engineering (1980), I bought an HP-41CV (1982) followed by an HP-41CX (1983). In 1989 I bought an HP-42S and it was my daily driver for 28 years until I retired it in favor of the SwissMicros DM42. I did a lot of programming on the two HP-41's and the HP-42S. I program the DM42 from time-to-time, but I don't do as much calculator programming as I used to. On the other hand, I still use programs I wrote more than 40 years ago, mostly for civil engineering hydraulics. I have other HP calculators, including, but not limited to, an HP-32SII, and HP-48G+, an HP-50g, an HP-12c Platinum, and the recently released HP-15C Collector's Edition, plus a SwissMicros DM41X, but they don't get nearly as much use as HP-41's, HP-42S, and DM42 have/do.

    I am restoring an EC-1 now, and will need to fabricate some of the "plastic double plugs" used to connect loose discrete components to the 2-pin sockets on the front panel. I know that they are supposed to be the (readily available in the 1950s) sockets for the FT241 crystals. It seems that most people who own EC-1's end up buying some suitable pins and then fabricating some sort of carrier to keep them separated on 1/2" centers.

    I feel a Walter White being born. Jokes aside this was very informative and entertaining. I love learning stuff like this. Especially since my new stable job is an IBM i (AS400) and our codebase is still in COBOL and RPL because this company is so old. I love the perspective. Sure there are better things now, but there's also a technological nostalgia of a time before I was even born. I'm honored to be a part of history and to make my mark on the past while helping move towards the future. Now because of the power we have things being clever in code is starting to feel like bad design that is unreadable. Back then clever design was able to take advantage of the hardware which was prized for efficiency. Maybe my perspective is getting biased from the people I work with on the verge of retirement.

    I love the idea of making custom fonts for paper tape. Converting each character into a unique bitstream isn’t really unusual, font display does it all the time. But doing it for paper tape makes it feel quite remarkable :)

    I remember using paper tape to save and store BASIC programs off of a teletype that was connected to a HP 2000 system via a modem in the 1970s when I was in high school long before the PC was invented.
