	It's a basic HP feature that has nothing to do with calculators at
all.  HP stuff is built to withstand being dropped off of desks and much
worse.  I would have been more surprised if dropping your calculator off a
desk *had* caused it any damage than if it just continued to work as you
describe.  And you wonder why HP has such fanatic customer loyalty?
