    I run hpcalc.org and would like to clarify this article.

    HP is not ceasing the production of calculators. Instead, HP has shut down the department that develops new calculators.

    This is nothing unusual. In the mid-1990's, HP already effectively shut down calculator development for several years.

    The manufacture of calculators is completely separate from the development, and production will continue.
