TI goes to the Olympics
Hi all

How’s this for a flashback:

Back in 1980 when the Olympics took place in Lake Placid, NY, TI was chosen as the calculator of choice for the personnel involved with the events. I remember that distinction featured prominently on TI brochures.

By that time, the 41 was a full system of barcode readers, magnetic card peripherals, a printer, and its tape drive.

So, why weren't HP’s calcs picked, especially any of the 41 versions with specially designed plug-in modules created?

Also, I wonder if specialty modules were created for the 58/59 for the Olympics.
