And if it gets to overwhelm comp.sys.handhelds then it will be time for you to split that off to comp.sys.jaguar. As I said before the hp48sx has enough traffic to merrit its own newsgroup comp.sys.hp48. chris -- ___________________________________________________________________ | spell@[ thebeach.uucp | uncw.uucp | ecsvax.uncecs.edu ] | | {...,gatech,rutgers,decvax}!mcnc!ecsvax!uncw!thebeach!spell | ---------------------------------------------------------------------
