It was marketed about the same time that Hewlett Packard got into the business. The calc was made in the 70's and HP got into the calc biz in the 60's, so it's factually wrong, and including HP in the sentence seems to be a non-sequitur. By 1974, probably close to when the MITS calc was made, HP had introduced the HP65, which was basically a hand-held computer, and in a league of its own (my first "computer"). -- Doug
