RE: The death of calculator market?
In the 90s, business was just beginning in our country, so we were living witnesses of branded quality at a very high price. In retail, you could buy the most modern models from leading brands.
Thanks to that era, I can now distinguish the artisanal production between of hp-50g, hp-39gs, hp-39gii, hp-prime etc for South Africa and branded products for expensive customers. Now I have new information: SwissMicros is not able to reproduce a high-quality keyboard for $5 at least as in TI-85. I don`t want to get into the nuances, but for the next 5 years, I crossed this manufacturer off my list. HP-Prime because of the deception with the display, I now never buy (only as an emulator on a android phone). `pier4r` pid=`137575` dateline=`1602515232` Wrote:...Of course one can say "but a computer keyboard is great". ...I always tried to get a calculator for serious work, not for the right tactile sensations and permissions for the ACT. For fetishism, I have an hp-50g lying around in the trash. Once every half a year, I put new batteries in it, turn it on and say: you are the most powerful calculator in the world, sleep well. Then I put it back and turn to the go49gp. Because I can write a huge book about 50g`s hardwarebugs and lags. But I won`t repeat myself here. |
