It comes with Lotus built into the ROM. In fact, the ability to run Lotus 123 was the genesis of the HP plamtops. One of my gripes about Lotus 123 is that it excelled (pun intended) at losing your work, as it did not ask you to save the file when you quit -- "/Q" would quit the program whether or not you had unsaved work. Bob?? PS. Re the "what calcularor to get" thread, you can get an HP LX200 and run any of a number of MS-DOS HP calculator emulators on it.

old clocks

by dgriffi＠cs.csubak.edu

Does anyone in here admire/collect old clocks? I want to get a Standard Electric AR-2 slave clock (60s style). I fondly remember that model as the one used at my elementary and junior high schools. -- David Griffith dgriffi at cs.csubak.edu A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing in e-mail?

just stumbled upon this http://www.mmnt.net/ this is interesting since afaik Google doesn't index anonymous ftp sites and there is a site search. I see one of the trailing-edge sites is on there.

hp calculators

by tshoppa＠wmata.com

It's still not too hard to find a HP-25. Retrofit the rechargeables and you're set. But IMHO the true sweet spot is a HP-15C or HP-11C. A set of batteries will last for years. I am not a huge fan of bells-and-whistles features.

It was written.... I have a number of PDP-11 software manuals, processor manuals, a few books & even a few software mag tapes from when I had worked at Digital Equipment.

vintage work available

by jwest＠classiccmp.org

A PCB manufacturer in San Diego, CA is currently using PDP 11/04 boxes for Advanced Controls Trudrill machines. They are looking for sources for repair, support, and/or replacement parts. They believe that they could also switch to 11/05, 11/24, or 11/34 boxes with the same application. If anyone is interested and able to provide this, email me off-list for contact details. Best, J
