Just like me again. I keep on saying at HPCC that I am
not an HP
calculator collector. Yes, I have old HP calculators (handhelds and
desktops), but I use them. I keep them operational, I do program them, I
do use them for calculators. And I don't try to obtain every cosmetic
version (that is, with differnt position of the serial number label,
etc), but I am interested in at least seeing versions with substantially
different internals (like the 2 very different logic boards that were
used in the HP80 financial calculator).
Sure sounds like a collector to me, just a collector with different
goals.
No, I am not intersted in having machines on the shelf
in original
condition. I want to be able to sue them, investigate them, and so on.
