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.
How can the company "Invent" while shutting down development??
From the HP-15C to the HP-41CX with the card reader, then to the HP-48G which I'm still using right now, RPM calculators is part of my life. What happened at HP's calculator divison is a sign of a company not knowing their technology. Carly Fiorina really lost it.
Just like M$ pushing ISPs to use IE instead of Netscape, just watch that they would require every ISP to block any browser but IE. They just need to come up with a legal/hack-free way to do it.

My copy of the book "Dynamics of Software Development" is published by Microsoft Press, not Prentice Hall.
The authoer of the book is Jim McCarthy and Denis Gilbert. Madnick is not even mentioned in the Acknowledgements.
