It seems like it is probably no coincidence that it looks like a gigantic indestructible HP-41 but with CORVALLIS MICROTECHNOLOGY in the place of HEWLETT PACKARD.

They are available cheap with broken battery packs from the forestry industry. Nice machine, a real "end of the world" computer.

Some surveyors used them too. They had their 15 minutes of fame while they had the biggest memory and screen available. They weren't really dust-proof though and were a bad long term investment if you worked around bull dozers and scrapers.
