...And if you watch his video introducing the 28S he acknowledges the anger of those who bought the 28C but says that the purchasers of the 28C funded the development of the 28S.

So, I guess all those people who later bought the 28S and ultimately the 48/49/50 series owe me a huge thanks for being one of ones who purchased the 28C. You're welcome!

I think the video John might be referring to is actually about the 48SX. For those who are interested, go to the above link and look for the HHC 1990 video "19. William Wickes HP 48SX Software Development Questions and Answers." The specific discussion starts at about 9:58. (But you'll want to watch the first 10 minutes to get the background history.)
