Have you seen many postings in the last month for anything _BUT_ HP calculators here? I haven't (barring the lets.change.the.group.name idiots and the others who keep posting 'I read this group for info on other calculators!') and don't expect to. If someone _does_ post for another calculator here, then they have every right to do so. Anyone who wants to read his article also has the right to flip through the HP stuff in the process... Rob PS - I still think if there should be a change, it should become comp.sys.hp.handhelds, to match with the existing comp.sys.hp group already in place. +------------ | rob@ireta.cynic.wimsey.bc.ca | Rob Prior, President, Still Animation Logo Design +------------------------------------------------------------
