HP-01 was code named "Cricket". I found out some answers but I still don't quite get what it meant by "all of Cricket's technology". Are they referring to the insect Cricket? What technology are they talking about? > From the minutes of a product planning meeting: "A suggestion was made to put all of Cricket's technology into an elegant, truly pocket size calculator selling for around $250. It would have an LED readout, 10 keys, 2 ROMS, timing functions and do about '40 things'. The appearance of the package would do justice to the selling price. This suggestion prompted an immediate lack of enthusiam [sic] and was seconded by no one thus inhibiting further serious discussion." This was a suggestion to "save" Cricket (HP-01) which was highly controversial. The meeting recap/action item related to Cricket was: "Pray for Cricket." http://www.hpmuseum.org/collect.htm#codes http://www.hpmuseum.org/collect.htm#codes
