ink cartridges & true confessions
Message #1 Posted by db(martinez,california) on 9 Oct 2001, 11:38 p.m.

in case anybody is interested; hp parts at (800)227-8164 is again stocking hp 51604a plain paper thinkjet black ink cartridges ($15 ea, $25 minium, free shipping). they also have some colors. in unrelated news: i have a confession to make. i have become a calculator collector. my wife just told me, so i know it's true. i thought i could just take it or leave it and put it down any time i wanted. but i fear i will never want to. and i've hit bottom; i reciently bought an old japanese calculator just to see how worked. is there a 12 step program for this?

Hi db (in unison)

Yes, the CCA (Calculator Collectors Anonymous) meets here daily. I've done 90 visits in 90 days. I'm hoping they start a support group for spouses or family affected by collectors, "Calc-anon".

"Grant me the serenity to accept the calcs I cannot fix, the courage to tear into the ones I can, and lots of time to figure out the difference..."

db,

I've never heard of a 12 step program but there are HP12 programming steps!
