HP-97 mainstream media - Netflix Night Agent Episode 4 - markhen - 03-27-2023 05:42 AM Netflix released a new FBI/crime drama on March 23rd 2023. In Episode 4 there is a scene at the check-in of a motel - as the scene is ending there is a fleeting glimpse of the check-in desk - showing a typical VoIP-type phone, a computer monitor running Linux, and.... an HP-97 is all it's glory!!!! Even with some paper ejecting from its printer! It does look like the legend on the front of the calculator has been blacked out? Hopefully with something removable!? I think there is a power cable plugged in, too. In 2023!!! Great to see hotels are still running on mag cards and glowing LEDs !!! I'd love to meet the props person who said "I've got just the thing for this scene...." LOL RE: HP-97 mainstream media - Netflix Night Agent Episode 4 - rprosperi - 03-27-2023 12:17 PM The PC running Linux is the giveaway that the scene is entirely fabricated...

LOL Well they wanted a printing calculator and they just picked the '97 from the pile. Notice also that the paper has not been installed properly. It looks like they bypassed the print mechanism and jammed the paper against the cover of the paper compartment. Nice find though.

I can read „97 calculator“ in the right side of the front of the machine in your pic :-) |
