Well...I've been a HP calc buff since I first saw a HP-35 and my understanding
(seeing as how I've also been to Corvallis - and it didn't rain!) is that
the HP-41 processor is the NUT and all the diferent versions were ---NUT:

	HP-41	Coconut
	HP-41CV	Honeynut
	HP-41CX	??? (Nutmeg ?)

	HP-41 (redesigned internals [to save money] ~1986)	Half-nut
