    HP recently laid off all of their graphing calculator devision. I am
uncertain as to whether they have killed off the rest of their calculator
department, if so, I know of a number of RPN users who will be desperatly
searching for a replacement, although they really wont need one until 20
years down the road when their existing calculators fail.
