“What you gonna do when you get out of jail?…” part 357

I was talking with my brother about calculator watches recently, which reminded me of this video from Techmoan: “Hewlett Packard HP-01 1977’s Smartest Watch”.

As a HP geek, I would kind of like to have one of these: however, examples in good condition are expensive.

Bonus #1: I also thought it might be interesting to do some startup videos. Not tech startups, but starting up things. For example, an Airbus A320:

Bonus #2: Or a railroad locomotive.

Bonus #3: Or a DC-3.

Bonus #4: Or a tractor, “with a 12 guage shotgun shell”. I believe this gives new meaning to the term “shotgun start“.

    In the ’80s I had a Timex watch that had LCD watch hands projected on the screen. Forget the name, but it lasted quite a long time.

    Didn’t tick, tho …
