History
Wisdom
- "Mathematics is the language that we humans are capable of using [to] describe the Universe. It may have little to do with the Universe but, in terms of our capacity, it's the microscope, it's the telescope […] — it's the lens through which we are able to view the Universe with a precision which no other human language allows."
(Jim Gates, Lex Fridman podcast #60, Dec. 25th, 2019) - "When you pay too much, you lose a little money – that is all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot – it can't be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better."
(attributed to John Ruskin, early 20th-century) - "Some people say you have to be a little crazy to buy an RPN calculator. Well, in that craziness we see genius and that's who we make the world's greatest programmable RPN calculators ever for."
(inspired by Steve Job's Think Different claims, 1980s) - "It isn’t equipment that wins the battles; it is the quality and the determination of the people fighting for a cause in which they believe."
(Gene Kranz, Failure is not an option, 2011)
What Customers Say
I am very happy with the DM42: it is very well built, of great quality: it has a nice metal case, an excellent keyboard, a high-quality display and could be repaired if necessary (as the case can be opened). The software is very stable and offers the "dynamic stack extension" (convenient for HP48 users). I am very happy that there is still a manufacturer of RPN calculators: I think RPN is superior to other entry methods as it teaches students the structure of mathematical expressions (and is a very natural way of turning a complex mathematical expression into a tree of operations). This is an excellent product and it is a pleasure to work with it!
Have I written you lately to tell you how much I love the DM41X!! I seriously use it every day in my work and keep one at the office, one at home, and one in my computer case. It has surpassed my 41CX with a NOV64 and my 41CLs as my favorite and go to calculator. No other HP I own even comes close…
I'm a user of the DM42 and I love this RPN calculator. It's the best calculator I've ever held in my hand. It represents what can be done with a pocket calculator - Engineering at its best and high-quality workmanship.
This quality, in addition to innovativeness, dwarfs everything else in the field of concepts of pocket calculators - better than HP-42S.
I received the DM42 yesterday. Nine days from order to delivery from Switzerland
to Michigan; that is exceptional. I had very high expectations for this calculator
and I can tell you from my initial impressions that you have exceeded them all.
I look forward to many years of enjoyment from it.
Thank you for producing such a high quality product — a rarity with today’s throwaway mentality.
I received the DM42 last week and I'd have to say this
will go down as the world's last truly great calculator.
It is an unbelievably brilliant piece of technology and engineering that is a pleasure to use.
After some 40 years in engineering I have seen nothing that is even close.
Only one word can describe your DM42 calculator: WOW
The HP42 calculator was my absolute favorite calculator of all time - I've used one since high school and the RPN cannot be beat.
I casually joke with my students that it's "the best calculator ever made by man or beast".
With your DM42, you've managed to outshine HP.
I don't think that I've ever been this excited for any gadget, especially a calculator.
To produce this work of art must have taken a colossal amount of effort, so my sincere thanks to you and your team for bringing this calculator to life.
It truly is a marvel of engineering and is everything that I have ever wanted from a calculator!
Thank you so much!
Wow! got my DM11L today. Absolutely beautiful.
Keys feel like my original 11c from the 1980s.
Performance is blazingly fast.
This must have been a huge amount of work.
You deserve a place in calculator heaven. Bravo!
I would like to thank you and your team for this outstanding and truly beautiful product.
I can not even begin to imagine how much passion you must have invested in its design and production.
I hope HP have ordered one as an inspiration for their future mass market calculators.
I received my calculator today, and it is one of the most robust electronic devices I have ever held.
It's nice to know that there are still people out there who refuse to shirk on workmanship.
Just had to write to say thank you for the DM42s which arrived very quickly here in the UK.
I have been using it for a few days now and I must say I am so impressed.
The display is really crisp and clear, the keys feel great and the overall build quality is everything I was hoping for.
It is a credit to you.
Yesterday DM16L arrived. I use it pleasantly.
Thank you for your prompt and courteous responses.
Your company is very wonderful. Thank you very much for this time.
I wish you health and continued success. I pray for the further development of your company.
I have just received the DM42, quality and functional expectations was high, but here we are facing a masterpiece!
Thank you so much.
I haven't been this excited about a calculator since I first learned how to program on an HP 67 back in 1976.
It's been almost 20 years since HP put their name on a quality Advanced Scientific Programmable RPN Calculator
and nobody else has either until now. Despite being a small company, David and Michael have demonstrated their dedication to improving
quality until they've produced a product that's comparable to the best that HP ever made.
The DM 42 calculator is 450 times faster than the HP 42s, calculates with 34 digits, displays 10 lines of code, has 10 times as much
memory, has its own USB drive, and Programs and Matrices can be sent back and forth to a computer via a USB cable.
It looks and feels great, and in the weeks that I've had one, I've known it to be reliable and durable.
The convenience of Bill Hewlett's shirt pocket sized numerical tool can't be over stated:
It's just as important today to scientific professionals, students and teachers as it ever was, and I still believe it's the best way to learn how to program.
The DM42 just arrived. It is awesome! The build quality is outstanding, and the display is the best I've seen on a calculator.
You may have outdone yourself, building better HP calculators than HP could.
I am extremely satisfied with the looks and the build of the DM42.
It is another step up in quality and craftmanship compared with the DM15 and the DM41L that I acquired earlier.
The screen, the keyboard, the outlook and the heft of the calculator exude quality.
HP-like quality. Eighties-HP-like quality, to be more specific. This HP-42s reincarnation is a thing to behold in its own right.
The screen is vastly superior and of course the speed, the memory size and the numerical precision are also much better.
The connectivity that was notably missing on the HP-42s has now been restored.
You gave us a terrific physical incarnation of Thomas’ terrific simulator – and more.
Just to say that I am really grateful for this very nice piece of Swiss craftmanship.
Thank you for creating the DM42. It is very high quality, feels great in the hand, and is superior to the HP-42S in every way.
I was initially a little concerned about paying $200 for this calculator, but now that I have it in hand it's clearly worth every cent.
