HP-65 40th anniversary edition

[Namir]

In 1974 the HP-65 was king, since the PC industry was being born. A handheld personal programming machine captured our interest and desire to own. The HP-65, despite its highly limited resources by today's machines, was a quantum leap in being able to solve some of our basic calculations using a programmable machine. It ruled supreme until the better HP-67 was introduced.

The electronics industry reflects Voltaire's golden rule, "The better is the enemy of the good". This holds true for hardware, software, and for algorithms.
