You can tell a lot about a culture by their instruments.
It helps to really look deeply.
When Hewlett & Packard were strongly involved with the design & production of their legendary instruments these were some of the most well-designed, advanced, high-performance, purpose-fulfilling, and amazingly reliable long-lasting electronics in history.
When Hammond was strongly involved with his it was even better.
I've got a Hammond amplifier built in 1948, sounds like heaven.
There's no need to repair or replace any components yet since it's only 2019.
Seemed inspired like Edison or DaVinci.
And a benevolent capitalist not a greedy one, after starting a growing company based only on an insignificant amount of one's potential IP there can be a lot of confidence when there's plenty more where that came from.
