Poll - Is it time to add the 32SII and 20S to the fully fledged part of the Museum?

I have finally broken down and bought an SII on eBay. (ouch)
After surfing around HPs site for an hour or so and discovering that I could only find a copy of the manual in Spanish or Portuguese, it dawned on me: Since these models are no longer made, they should be on the 'proper' part of the museum, right?
Although the 20s doesn't get much respect around here on account of it being algebraic, I think the 32SII is pretty well respected.
If you don't feel like commenting, that's fine, but please at least post your vote as a 'Yes' or 'No' in your Subject line. Maybe our champion Mr. Hicks will make it happen... ;)

Yes

Yes, a section '1988 - 2002 "Pioneers"' would be cool and useful.

I have just recently obtained a new 32Sii and 20S manuals from Randy Sloyer. Thanks Randy. I will be scanning these for Dave to use for the HPMuseum site (assuming that he has permission to use them).
I'll let Dave know when I have them scanned in.


Yes!

... and not only the HP-32SII and HP-20S. I believe that all HP calculators which are no longer produced belong to the "main exhibition". So I would like to see there the HP-49G, too.

Yes! (unfortunately)

It's probably time to add the recently-discontinued Pioneer models to the museum as a complete section.
I bought one of the last 32Sii's on the shelves last year at Fry's for $60, and recently won a new 20S on eBay for $28 (it will be my programmable "traveling" calc).
