Hi,

>>>

Come on, we all know how this will end... a raspberry-pi like processor running 
a virtual machine emulating the original processor (running the same firmware) 
and taking care of everything digital, and the analog asics doing what they do 
best.... HP48 style.
<<<

Daniel, that made me laugh :). Begs a question though - even if Agilent or 
whoever they are called today don't have the smart personnel or the market 
incentive to do a good job of bringing the whole thing up-to-date, they could 
add a better display, better connectivity, more stats, smaller packaging, more 
modern components etc and leave the clever analogue stuff alone. Sooner or 
later, someone is going to want to move the start of the art forward from the 
late 1980's.
