Yes!  There are not that many postings for these machines and they can
go where they originally were comp.sys.handhelds.  I doubt that many
people will stop reading comp.sys.handhedls just because they are now
reading all the hp48sx stuff in comp.sys.hp48. I sure won't because
there won't be that much posted to comp.sys.handhelds after the 48sx
stuff is gone.  **The hp48sx has enough posted to it to merrit its own
newsgroup.**

And i'm sure that the people wanting to read only stuff about the hp28,
55, or 25 etc. will not want to wade through all the hp48sx postings
just to read the articles they are interested in when they could find
what they were looking for much faster in comp.sys.handhelds.
