Re: ebay craziness again Message #3 Posted by Randy Sloyer(US) on 14 Oct 2002, 5:37 a.m., in response to message #2 by Massimo Gnerucci (Italy) I think it rates in the same level of foolishness as this one: http://cgi.aol.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1387678553 A new high for a 32Sii? Gee, let me think (quick, give me a calculator) Thats only $0.59 per byte of programmable memory. And at the going rate for a 48GX, it's only 21,866% more per byte. Kinda makes 2102's seem cheap back in the '70's. I am I missing something here? :-)

Re: ebay craziness again Message #4 Posted by joe_oil on 31 Oct 2002, 8:23 p.m., in response to message #1 by gene Consider that HP is now HPQ. Consider that the 1980-1990 line was superior in durability than anything since. Consider that there are a limited number of these left in the world. Finally, consider that HP calculators are so great that there is even a forum for discussion over the internet. This is no crazier than the folks out buying up old Coke signs, coolers, etc. for thousands of dollars.
