HP still 'supports' the HP-150 but we don't still sell it.  Support
means that we will still service the machine and the Response Center
will still answer questions on use of the machine.  Both hardware and
software support can be provided with monthly service contracts. Such
contracts cover all repairs due to normal failure (as opposed to failure 
due to abuse) for hardware contracts and unlimited calls for Response 
Center Support.  HP will 'support' a product either five or ten years
after the date it is taken off of the corporate price list.  In the case 
of the Touchscreen it is five years.  In the case of the HP-9000s (our 
family of HP-UX machines) the support life is ten years.  As for software 
for the HP-150, HP just took the major software products (Executive 
MemoMaker, Lotus 1-2-3, Executive Card Manager, Graphics Gallery, MicroSoft 
Word, etc...) for the Touchscreen off of the corporate price list on 
October 1, 1989.  I hope this helps.

Joseph
