Why yes there is very much interest. I would like a copy, but I do not
know a way to get one here.

I feel that it is a damn shame that my computer is almost extinct.
The HP150 w/touchscreen II is one of the best computers I have
worked on (8088 models), that special feel of the keyboard, and of course
the touchscreen which sets it apart from any other pc. Although
compatibilty is the main problem, seems there is no reason for this
piece of artwork to go down with the rest of the dinosaurs. So
all you other HP150 owners need to ban together and revive the species.

I mean think about the first time you touched the screen........
