HP 2113E minicomputer and 87XM micro – Mike Loewen
"The HP 2113E minicomputer from 1976 was part of the second series of 21MX machines, and used semiconductor RAM instead of core memory. The system on display has a 2748B high speed paper tape reader (500cps) which is used to load software into RAM. Paper tape BASIC will be loaded, after which BASIC programs can be loaded from the interpreter. A 2645A terminal is used for communication. Also on display is an 87XM personal computer from 1983 with dual diskette drives. The 87MX has built in BASIC with graphics capability."
I spent some time programming in BASIC on the HP2113E (which is a model in the HP 1000 line), but before I could Mike had to load BASIC into RAM first. He had a cleaver method of rewinding the tape using a power drill.
1982
I have bought a Hewlett Packard 54602B Oscilloscope, I love having a job so much. It's from 1994 according to the start screen, so it has a tube display
I am certain I am highly underqualified to own this piece of equipment but it was cheap and close by so I might as well buy it, might need it at some point in the future if I'm ever calibrating some bullshit
Anyway, here's a video of me messing with it, magnet to the display (doesn't hurt cause it's monochrome) and a funny little feature :)))

HP-01 (1977)
Hewlett-Packard
The Hewlett-Packard HP-01 is a calculator watch. It was designed and manufactured by Hewlett-Packard.
The HP-01's digital display used 7 light-emitting diodes (LEDs)/digit in a 7-digit + decimal point arrangement. Introduced in 1977, at the height of the LED watch craze, it had five models: two gold-filled and three stainless.
Prices ranged from $450 & $550 for the low-end steel or gold to $850 (the equivalent of $2200 to $4200 in 2023 dollars).
HP also sold a battery replacement kit that allowed customers to change the batteries themselves. The watch uses two batteries for the display and one for the processor IC. It also comes with a ballpoint pen with a stylus on the rear end. Most of the 28 buttons on the HP-01 are recessed and designed to be depressed with a stylus stored in the band.
The production was stopped by the end of 1979.
