"pdp" in their model names that have nothing to do with older computers
from DEC? Compaq and Panasonic seem to be the worst, naming memories,
power supplies, and toner cartridges with pdp-blahblahblah.
HP is worse :-) ...
Firstly you gets hits for 'horsepower'.
But even amongst things made by Hewlett Packard, it's very difficult to
only get 'classics'. We all know that hte HP9100A nad HP9100B are
early calcualtors. The HP9100C is a scanner I think, and much more
modern.
And searching for partial model numbers (say 5940*) will get hits for
printer ink cartridges, battereis for modern (well, more modern than I am
interested in) laptops, etc.

From my own experience, if HP finds a model number that they
like they don't hesitate to use it over again for some other
product! See HP C5100A.
