Why was the 41 the end of the competition in the high end calculator market. I read that it was the first hp (I am not sure if it was the first in the world) that could let users write labels in programs, and indeed it was deemed as a portable computer with flexible functions.

And I am really surprised that at this point there are at least 20x 35S and 16x 42S working around, compared to other numbers. The first due to its reputation, the second due to its age (and speed since many could just drop it for the Free42).

Here Richard J. Nelson summarizes some aspects that set the 41 apart from the crowd.
