Well that's another point at which they emulators fail, they don't have

hmm, I wonder if I could create a plastic face for my pilot
that held spring loaded keys that just poked the screen when I pressed
them.
They still wouldn't be the same.
I just searched for "HP41 Wiki" on google, I found a later HP
calculator wiki
but for 41/71/75 class machines they refer to the hp museum.

You're right! It's too bad they didn't take the time to read the HP
Journal articles about the developement of the HP-35 (and others) that

HP 41C?
I spend a lot of money to by the then current HP48SX when I was in
school. An expense that I never will regret. Some time ago I got a
HP41CV with card reader, printer and TV modulator. What a wonderful
machine. I love it. 20 years old, heavily used by the previous owner
and
still well working.
When I saw the HP49 for the first time I was shocked. A cheap plastic
thing with rubber keyboard that looks like a TV remote control. haven't read them!
