The statement 'Never apologizes, and it never needs to. User knows exactly what it can and can’t do and it never pretends to answer a question it can’t. “Those were the days my friend.” 🎶' is a lighthearted commentary on the reliability and straightforward functionality of a calculator, specifically the Hewlett Packard 48G+ shown in the image.
