Thanks for the place to cry ... Message #11 Posted by Randy Woodbury on 6 May 2003, 7:01 p.m., in response to message #1 by Randy Woodbury
For those of us that weep about the pain this nice machine suffered, at least know that I did not lose financially. The X-memory and Advantage modules inside survived, and I could recover all my costs and still have a nice looking dead, dead, dead 41CX to look at (oh, the humanity ... oh, the insanity ... oh, the inhumanity). Funny how we think of these things as living, or in my case as once-living. I'd like to thank those who have responded and for those that still might. I posted this on a more obscure site yesterday and someone emailed me with a cryptic: "post it at the HP museum forum, and you WILL get answers." I think he knew what type of sad answers I was going to get. Anybody think the Smithsonian would trade me with the one they have that Sally Ride rode in space with? That one doesn't have to work any more, so mine could sit in just fine, right? Just joking ... thought I had to say that, because there may be people here even more fanatical about the old HPs than me (or us).
