I agree. Again, nothing against HP, and I am certain that the 48 is a great
machine for the typical net news reader, but my wife is a definite non-techie,
and thus has a Sharp. The volume of non-HP postings on this group are so low
that I continually question the value of reading it at all, but I have learned
some useful things, and thus persist. I would prefer, however, not to have to
bypass the 99 HP articles to get to the one Sharp article.
