Me too!
I have been using an HP28 for the past 3 years (I started with a C, then got
an S when it was available) but I know nothing about checksums, etc (and the
archived ftp programs somewhere).
 
If anyone has some newuser file, *please* pass a copy on to me!
 
By the way, I have lots and lots and lots of programs that I've written for the
HP28s, since (don't laugh, folks, I'm a technonerd) I was captain of the
calculator team for our high school's math team. Here are some programs I've
written:
 
    Factorization Programs: Prime Factors, Greatest Common Factor/Least Common
         Multiple, Sum of a series, Product of a series.
 
    Fractions: Add, Subtract, Mulitply, Divide, Reduce to lowest terms, find
         the nth digit to the right of the decimal
 
    Linear Programming: Phase II of the Simplex Method
         (Note: this program is useable, but I could improve them with time)
 
    Statistics: Calculate the Standard Normal, Store a data unit n times
 
    Base Conversions: Convert from base 2...36 to base 10, convert from base 10
         to base 2...36
 
    Graphics: Parametric Equations Grapher, Polar Equations Grapher
 
    Fun: Charge!, Music Maker, Scrolling Banner
 
Note that these are all programs that *I've* written. I also have Quadratic
Equation Solver, a fast numerical answer to ax^2+bx+c=0 written by a math
teacher at my high school.
 
Note that I can't get these all on the net right now, because I am in the
middle of midterms, but these can be distributed at the end of the month.
 
Thanks for any new usergroup info!
