It seems like only weeks ago that we were seeing _exactly_ the same
complaints from people who thought that there were too many postings
for the HP-28S, and not enough about other handhelds. How short
people's memories are -- It _was_ only weeks ago.

"There are too many postings about machine _X_ and not enough about
_my_ machine _Y_" sounds to me like sour grapes. It was okay when the
HP-28S was king of the heap, but once another machine becomes more
popular for postings, it's not? When did comp.sys.handhelds become
comp.sys.hp28?
