And I wonder
how touchcreans like being coated with cutting oil and metal
swarf? My HP calcualtorss don't seem to mind :-)
Gads, man! Take better care of those HPs! They don't grow on trees,
and prices have gone through the roof. :-(
THey're HPs... They don't seem to mind :-)
Mote seriously, I do look adter my old HPS. Darn it, I write the repair
instructions fo HP desktop machines so they can be kept going. But also I
sue them. And the older HPs, with goid-plated keyboard contacts,
dual-shot-moulded keycaps, and the like do not seem to me the odd splash
of cutting oil.
More modern HMs with membran keyboards (like your 28) probably don't last
as well...
(my beloved 28S just lost functionality in a few of its keys...)
I bought the first 28C I saw. I stopped using it when the HP48 came out
(yes, I bought hte firsto ne of those I saw too). The reason was that the
28 didn't ahve any way to back up your programws. The 48 has a serial
port and kermit.
