Hey Dave! HP Museum Bandwidth Theft Message #1 Posted by Mike on 2 June 2003, 9:40 p.m. Not only did this person take an HP photo, he didn't even host it anywhere else. He is just using HP Museum bandwidth for his eBay auction. There is only 15 hours left but maybe Dave wants to play some tricks in the next 15 hours. HP-12C auction (bandwidth theft) (unless goldcoaster is from HP Museum :-) Edited: 2 June 2003, 9:44 p.m.

I dunno Message #2 Posted by Dave Hicks on 2 June 2003, 10:56 p.m., in response to message #1 by Mike It looks like more than "very minor" wear to me... Edited: 4 June 2003, 1:22 a.m. after one or more responses were posted

ROTFLL - Where is my acrobat writer ? Message #5 Posted by Renato on 3 June 2003, 1:37 a.m., in response to message #2 by Dave Hicks Gosh, no acrobat writer here at home. If it is still there when I get to work tomorrow I will save this page - it sure deserves to be saved. Dave - YOU ARE AWESOME. This is even more hilarious than the paper calc of weeks ago. Renato

HA HA HA HEEE HEE HEE HO HO HO Message #6 Posted by Norm on 3 June 2003, 1:57 a.m., in response to message #5 by Renato Dave you are the best!!!!!!! Outstanding humor. Everybody here at HP Museum is just tops, when it comes to technical excellence, accomodation of wild ideas, and good humor all around. Dave, PLEASE KEEP IT THAT WAY for at least one week. I just forwarded a bulletin to all of MY buddies and I want that auction to stay posted just like it is for awhile. I e-bay-mailed the seller!! With a 'question to seller' !! The thing is, how am I supposed to add and subtract if the dog chewed the buttons off ? I asked him if he had the missing chunk and whether I could glue it back onto there ????? MORAL OF THE STORY: "DO NOT STEAL PHOTOGRAPHS FOR YOUR EBAY AUCTION UNLESS YOU ARE POSITIVE YOU WILL GET AWAY WITH IT". - Norm

I have made a copy of the full page Message #7 Posted by Mike on 3 June 2003, 2:00 a.m., in response to message #5 by Renato I used MSIE and made a full copy of the page, as it is now. It is preserved for posterity :-)

How many Kill-O-Bites Message #8 Posted by NH on 3 June 2003, 12:54 p.m., in response to message #7 by Mike How many Kill-O-Bites does that calculator have anyway? It looks like its a ONE kill-o-bite calculator. Plus a few other bits also.

Four hours to go and... Message #11 Posted by Vieira, Luiz C. (Brazil) on 3 June 2003, 8:49 a.m., in response to message #1 by Mike ... the "original" picture is still there. Poor soul...

Re: Four hours to go and... Message #12 Posted by James M. Prange on 4 June 2003, 1:25 a.m., in response to message #11 by Vieira, Luiz C. (Brazil) It's over. Is US$36.00 a good buy for a 12C "with only very minor show of wear"? If so then the "winning" bidder should perhaps send Dave a big Thank You, if he knows what happened.
