It's almost April 1st, where's the new HP 43S? Message #1 Posted by John M on 27 Mar 2002, 6:32 a.m. It's approaching April 1st and I haven't heard a thing about the supposed new HP Calculator being released. Anyone here anything? If it is just a hoax, I'd like to thank that idiot for starting this cruel rumor a few weeks ago.

Message #6 Posted by John Ioannidis on 27 Mar 2002, 9:03 p.m., in response to message #1 by John M Put your old, dead calculator under your pillow before you go to sleep. The Tooth Fairy will replace them with a shining HP43. If that fails, wait for the Easter Bunny - it's the right season. I guess waiting for Father Christmas would be too far in the future.

Message #9 Posted by Luca Passaggio - Switzerland on 28 Mar 2002, 11:05 a.m., in response to message #1 by John M I have a fully working prototype, but I have signed a secrecy agreement and therefore I cannot give details to anybody ! It will be officially announced by HP on April 1st, I suppose. Best regards, Luca
