I still have the HP financial calculator that I bought when I was in grad school over 20 years age. The last time I tried using it, it still worked.

I use my 20 year old HP-12C almost daily. It never ceases to amaze me that 20 years after they first came out with that model they are still selling it. I also swear by HP laser printers, which seem to last forever.

I bought an HP notebook computer and it was crap. They need to stick with what they do well rather than try and compete with Dell in the PC market.

Many years ago, I was issued a state-of-the-art H-P hand held calculator at work. I don't recall the madel number. I left it unguarded for a few minutes, and it was stolen. Then, a few years later on, I found out that my own boss had stolen it !! Hope it still works.
