You're right, most of the bandwidth here is related to HP handhelds.
However, part of the reason for this is that users of other handhelds
just get tired of wading through so many HP articles, that they stop
reading the group, figuring that it just isn't worth it.

Personally, I read this group not the for HP articles, but the
occasional Sharp PC-1500/PC-1350 articles, and other basic-interpreter
handhelds, as well as info on things like the Atari Portfolio.

(BTW, if anybody has a Sharp PC-1500, Tandy PC-1/2/3, or Atari
Portfolio that they'd be interested in selling, I may be a buyer...)
