There was some bizzaro ones in the 80’s.. I worked for LID for a while (Multimeter R&D), then I worked in the calculator R&D (41c if you remember that).. Then notebooks.. both the HP side (Omnibooks) and then post merger..

I run a business now and I hire laid off HPeons in the 50 year plus age group.. We do pretty good..

(I go back to the 9825 if you want to google that, used to deal with ferrite core memory..)

The 41c was great. I also had a 48c and a 28c, which was one of the first graphing calculators.

My main computer now is an Elitebook 8540 with a core i7. The keyboard and rugged feel of the machine reminds me of what I liked about HP calculators in the 80s.

What sort of business do you have?

Well, I hope things are going well for you especially in these tough times. Techies are unfortunately quite expendable.
