Announced in 1968, this transistorized, programmable machine sold for $4,900, performed complex arithmetic, logarithmic, trigonometric, hyperbolic, and other complex operations; Sold in two models, the 91001A and 9100B, and later a 9100A Extended Memory version. Uniquely powerful for the time, it was sometimes marketed as a “personal computer” and sometimes as a “computing calculator.” Part 1 of the film is 7 minute sales demonstration of the HP 9100. Part 2: is how to use one in the classroom. (Editing Note: This film dates from about 1970. We moved the HP Sales narration to the front of the film, which seemed a better fit; otherwise the entire film is intact. Uploaded by the Computer History Archives Project).
