Do you use a HP themed wallpaper on your computer?
This is mine:

I have the following picture of the Calculators of HP poster from vcalc.net.

Why would any collector confine their screen background to just one? - striegel - 04-01-2023 11:24 PM
A wallpaper?
My preference is to have the background change once each minute, switching among images of all the calculators in my collection.

I've used a solid color background for as long as I can remember. Usually I have the screen covered with windows anyway.

I have a rotating series of images, but no HP. The most technical is a shot of ACRR going off. The blue glow is Cherenkov radiation, which was one of the things on my bucket list.

I do occasionally --- either that, or HP test equpment, or one of the wonderful HP marketing slides from the early 80's I dug out somewhere. All of the people in those shots look very happy to be using their HP calculators!

Not sure if mine counts... I can't make a skin for the Plus42 thus I just used my wallpaper.

Are you using an ortholinear keyboard, or is the wallpaper layout just limited by whatever you used to design it?

Yes, I have been using a Planck keyboard for almost 6 years, and these are exactly all my layers.
I’m very happy with how well it works with Plus42.

Do you have a material sample you want them to irradiate for a purpose?
Or are you just a nuc physics fan and want to see Cherenkov radiation?
Either way, it's pretty cool and I think I'll join you! (Former Navy Nuc submariner...)

Actually a screenshot of SarahZ80's new simulator would be cool:

"Do you have a material sample you want them to irradiate for a purpose?"
I was testing nuclear weapon components for neutron sensitivity to check for fratricide issues.
"Or are you just a nuc physics fan and want to see Cherenkov radiation?"
More of a science fiction fan / science geek, where Cherenkov radiation pops up occasionally, so it became something I wanted to see.

How about the pics from the HP Calendar from the 80s?
