Anyway, the demand for the old 28C's was much greater than the supply. HP could probably recoup a lot of the money they would otherwise lose if they offered the "old" 48SX models for sale as-is, say for $99 or $129, or something. The 28C had a lot more bugs than the early 48's do, and I think a lot of people would be willing to live with the bugs if they knew they got a really good deal on the calculator. Yet another $0.02 from me. (HP, feel free to use this idea for the low, low cost of only 10% of the gross sales :-) ). Stephen Thomas sjthomas@cup.portal.com
