Wow prices must be fluctuating.  My school's bookstore (well known
for inflated prices) seems to have a fairly good deal on the HP:
$267 and in stock!    What a change.  Hey will HP have some kind of
an educational discount deal for us poor students?  C'mon HP, if
Commodore can throw ed discounts on their Amiga's why can't you?>??

BTW:  My HP42s got lost in the mail and was auctioned off somewhere
      in San Francisco.  ANybody might have picked it up?  It has
      some important phone ##'s in it:-(
