I wasn't aware that amnesia is a common complication of cardiac
fibrillation.  But that's not important right now...

As far as I am concerned, the canonical reset doodah is a straightened-out
paper-clip.  ThinkJet repriming tool indeed.  It'll be on the corporate
price list next: 

  HP 82237A  HP 48SX de-spazzing tool                         $9.95 (pack of 3)
  HP 82237AF HP 48SX de-spazzing tool (Spanish documentation) $9.95 (pack of 3)
  HP 82238A  HP 48SX de-spazzing toolkit (wallet+5 tools)    $29.95
             Option 001 deletes the tools                    -$9.95
	     Option 010 adds mustard (oops, sorry, wrong HP price list)

After all, if people will pay $2.50 for a zip-lock bag, who knows
what they'll pay for a precision-engineered piece of wire?
