This is not at all true. The previous suggestion was voted on, and PASSED! This hardly implies that "everyone agrees.. [it] was garbage". However, in the time since the prior discussion, it has become all the more clear that discussion is rapidly developing on the MS-DOS compatible "palmtop" market. (Including the Portfolio, and HP95LX.) The original discussion, however was trying to create separate groups for non-HP48 calculators (or possibly HP48/HP28, or all HP) and the HP48 calculators (or possibly HP48/HP28, or all HP). I would prefer to see at least three groups: one for discussing the HP48 (*) one for discussing non-HP48 (*) calculators one for discussing MS-DOS compatible "palmtops" I really don't care what the groups are called, as long as they make some sense in letting newusers find the groups. -- Kenneth B.
