Please, people, let's not get started on the computer vs calculator
debate.  The HP-48SX is most certainly a calculator, is being marketed
as such, and is aimed at calculator owners (interpret that last
statement any way you want :-) ). And let's keep those program
listings coming (now if only I could find a connector in the hardware
lab that would connect to the RS232 port! 

Appearing soon in this column:

* A PostScript hack to make keyboard overlays. (it's ready, except the
dimensions are off by a couple of points, so that when the top row of
keys is aligned, the bottom is off by 2 points (1/36 of an inch).
X-Acto knife required, though. 

* Full-screen appointments calendar; I'll be writing this one from
scratch, so if you've already started working on it or have one running, 
please post.

* (surprise, TBA)
