I used to keep a straightened-out paper clip taped to the inside of the front
panel on my ThinkJet and QuietJet at work.  I always wondered why HP didn't 
include a molded-in holder for a paper clip, since it was extremely useful.

I haven't had to defib my Rev.A HP-48SX yet.  Either I'm lucky, or careful,
or I know all the tricks.  I vote for (a) or (b).
