Ahh, perhaps Drag then...

75C - Probably for Continuous Memory - this was in '82, so shortly after the 41C and Voyagers, so still trendy
71B - It's Better than the 75C

The Pod has clips for a carrying strap, so, portable.

B - probably Basic (the language).

D was just the letter after C, which is how HP often numbered variant/updated products (but that rule was not applied to calculators).

Not so much if you don't have the carrying strap... :D ;)

To say it with Master Yoda's words: An awesome collection there you have, Keith! Makes me envious.
While browsing through your very nicely arranged pictures I just thought that the classics with the slightly bulged shape and the beveled keys were the most aesthetic. I also admired the clear-case samples you have. You even have a place for a heavily used 15C where the product label isn't visible anymore. In every good collection the ugly ducklings should not be missing. So you did not hesitate to show the nadir of HP's calculator world, the rock bottom development culminating in the EasyCalc 100. As if HP was eager to compete with the cheapest East-Asian shames of industrial product design. Big Grin

Thanks for sharing!

... or the HP-33S. Blech. I'm too used to my calculator keys being in rows and not just columns. I think the 33S is one of the ugliest examples of user interface I've seen for a while. I've no idea how it behaves other than its looks, or how reliable the underlying calculator is.

Yes, I agree it's ugly, but after using it for sometime I found it very ergonomic, easy to use, after you get used to the small enter key and chevron shape keyboard.

Maybe after years using the tradition HP calculators, we became very traditionalists and tending to refute new things.

As for reliability, I think it is, but on the hardware side, mine specimen has already some keys sporadically missing keystrokes.

Overall, I think is a nice calculator, but far from the quality we find in some, let's say, pioneers and voyagers.

One more here. I now have both a beta unit and a production unit and I'll amend my first post in this thread to reflect that change.

I also have a few more Casio units to add to my list but won't get all of them until after Christmas so I'll send in another message once I have them.
