to drive this on topic, how many of you fell for
the hp67c
april fool's joke at the hp calculator museum? I did, for a few
ecstatic seconds, and then felt _rather_ heartbroken...
I was darn sure it was a hoax from the start (no sane person these days
would use LED displays in a handheld calculator). But it was remarkably
convincing.
And yes, I am sorry it was a hoax. I'd probably have bought one...
