HP 42S Message #1 Posted by Richard Garner on 12 Aug 2002, 11:47 a.m. I see there are 2 must have at any cost beginners that are driving the price of the 42S's up again. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1372018037 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1372311341

Re: HP 42S Message #2 Posted by W. Bruce Maguire II on 12 Aug 2002, 10:04 p.m., in response to message #1 by Richard Garner That's funny! That kind of "I'll just keep adding one dollar to my bid until I top his" mentality is hilarious! I wonder when (if ever?) it occurs to these people that their bidding pattern is completely transparent, and that we can all tell (usually with surprising accuracy) where their newest "high-bidder" bid lies? Oh well, just another person who doesn't get the idea of proxy bidding... Bruce.

Re: HP 42S Message #3 Posted by John Aasen on 18 Aug 2002, 7:27 a.m., in response to message #2 by W. Bruce Maguire II What is HP's replacement for the 42S? (with every single function of a 42S and a size <= to the size of a 42S.) If there isn't one, why doesn't HP design one or just crank up production of the old design again so we can buy these without the Ebay crazyness. If HP did a new similiar design, the only feature I'd like to see changed is screen size increased to about double vertically. Has anyone contacted HP about this?

Re: HP 42S Message #4 Posted by thibaut.be on 18 Aug 2002, 8:09 a.m., in response to message #3 by John Aasen Well, sure there's nothing as good as the 42S... However how much 42S would HP sell should they start up the production line again... 50 ? 200 ? 1000 ? seems that this community only want to purchase one, and a unit figure with less than 6 digits is not interesting for HP....
