I would state that the HP41 still is magic. It's kind of the mythic bird Phoenix disguised as an electronic device. Although more than 30 years old it has a huge community and is still supported - well, not just by the manufacturer.
I highly recommend to get the Museum's USB stick with tons of information on HP calculators. Also Jake Schwartz' compilation of the PPC journals is worthwhile. The HP41 holds a big portion of the information contained therein. You will learn the history of your achievement with the aid of these sources. Once you have seen on which base the HP41 stands you will appreciate even more the most recent developments like the 41CL or NOV64.

Enough advertisement - enjoy your machine!
