First of all, I agree that the traffic in this group doesn't warrant renaming
or splitting.  However, it would be nice if people would indicate (either
in the subject line or early in the article body) the machines to which
the posting is specific.

No, but we are clearly in the minority.  I really don't do very much in
terms of programming my 75 and 41 anymore, but there are still times
when one of them is the best machine for a particular job.  In fact,
I just wrote a quick chess clock for the HP75 a couple of days ago.
I'd be happy to pull out some of my older stuff, if anyone is interested.

On a slightly different tack, does anybody still have an HP28C?  I'd
appreciate it if someone could fill me in on the major differences
between it and the 28S, and whether or not there is any hope at
all in upgrading a 28C to a 28S.
