No dissing William Kahan's contributions to the world of numerical analysis in general, and post HP-45 to Voyager series calculators specifically intended. Without him, awareness of floating point precision issues in the nascent world of late seventies/early eighties computer science would not have been anywhere near as widespread. The point I was making was exactly the fact that things move on. It's a real pity that Dr Kahan wasn't involved in post Voyager HP calculator hardware.

Dr. Kahan blames HP marketing for that.

"... I continued to work with them for a couple of years, but my heart just wasn’t in it anymore."

That's a really great interview segment Steve. You can understand why his heart wasn't in it anymore.
