Why, Bruce naively asked, doesn't the 28S have a "supertwist" LCD? Too
expensive? Unreasonable power supply requirements? They're wrong for this
kind of application? I bet it requires too high a voltage, right?

OK HP, if you want my bucks, next time I want these additions to the 28S
feature set:

	1. Some way to send input from another computer. It doesn't have
	   to be fast, I just want to be able to back the thing up and
	   upload/download 1K or so of data per day. Although if you made
	   it fast enough, the 28S would be good for remote data entry.
	   But then, you have another machine for that market, right?

	2. A supertwist LCD, if there aren't good technical reasons
	   against it.

I don't want to have to buy a (yuk!) psion in addition to my HP calc.
