Sheesh. These
guys are as bad if not worse than Tandy and their
self-aggrandizing history.
Most companies are the same...
But HP did the opposite ;-). Two years ago (1997) they handed out
stickers with 'HP calculators - 25 years of inovation' on them. At the
HPCC conference that year, I had one of those stickers sitting on top of
my HP9100B - a (then) 28-year-old HP calculator.
And IBM used to list the 5100 in their timeline as having been introduced
in 1979.
At least they fixed it after I pointed it out. Some companies have been
totally unresponsive to comments on their web sites.
Of course, it probably helped that my correction made them look *more*
innovative, rather than less.
