How many of you like HP41C calculators?

I also collected the all the ROMs for them including the custom made ones. I had the only (Nuclear) Weapon Effects ROM outside of the military (see <http://www.classiccmp.org/hp/we/> and a pair of the Military Engineering ROMs. Other than those, the coolest ROM that I had was the Astro ROM. It's a special surveying ROM that lets you take extremely accurate readings and/or over extremely long distances. I sold it to a group that is re-surveying the Valley of the Kings in Egypt. Believe it or not there are no accurate surveys of the place and they've even managed to lose a few tombs due to the poor maps of the area. Yeap (#12114 IIRC) and it's short lived successor HPPC (IIRC). I was still active in the HP user's group up till a couple of years ago. They still had a big international meetings once a year. In fact, I was given my HP-49 at the meeting in Portland a few years ago. I got the 2nd one outside of HP (Richard Nelson got the first one). HP sponsored the meeting and used it to announce the HP-49. They gave everyone there a free HP-49. These were THE first HP-49s in the US. They (HP) had flown them in just the night before for this occasion. The last meeting that I heard of was in Chicago just a couple of days after 9/11. I haven't heard if that had any meetings after that. Joe
