Merry Christmas Message #1 Posted by Matthias Wehrli on 23 Dec 2005, 12:24 a.m. Hi you crazy people Today is the last working day in this year from me. You can not imagine how long I was waiting for it as I had a very, very hard last quarter (maybe as many of you). But now it´s the 23th! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone! Enjoy the holidays, relax and have a smooth start into a happy 2006! For next year too I will continue my work on presenting you as much HP accessories as I can find on my website. I will also continue my work on the HP-41 module database. I hope you´ll also continue next year so that we can keep alive the sprit of world´s best calculators . Best wishes to all of you, Matthias Wehrli www.hp-collection.org

Re: Merry Christmas Message #2 Posted by Massimo Gnerucci (Italy) on 23 Dec 2005, 1:36 a.m., in response to message #1 by Matthias Wehrli Yeah! Merry Christmas to you all. I'll be leaving in a few hours and I won't read anything from you for a couple of weeks. I wish you all the best. Massimo P.S. ...and a H-P New Year!! ;-)

Re: Merry Christmas Message #4 Posted by Vieira, Luiz C. (Brazil) on 23 Dec 2005, 2:27 a.m., in response to message #1 by Matthias Wehrli Hi, all; Merry Xmas! And a Happy New Year. Or, as we say in Portuguese: Feliz Natal, Feliz Ano Novo! As Massimo say: let's hope for newer HP (actual, please!) calculators for this next year. Cheers. Luiz (Brazil)

Re: Merry Christmas Message #5 Posted by Walter B on 23 Dec 2005, 2:48 p.m., in response to message #4 by Vieira, Luiz C. (Brazil) Hi everybody, A Merry Xmas and a Peaceful, Happy and Prosperous New Year to All of You! Or, in my mother tongue: Fröhliche Weihnachten und ein glückliches Neues Jahr! May the spirit of true H-P-ness rule until the crow turns white and the water runs uphill. May we see at least one running calc emerging from OpenRPN. Or may HP start a calc with a *BIG* ENTER key at the right place... ;-)) Just kidding! Good luck to everybody! Edited: 23 Dec 2005, 2:51 p.m.

I hope everyone has a wonderful time with friends and family. My father goes all out for decorating. He even won the city-wide contest this year (town has about 800,000 population). Note especially the arrow pointing at the chimney...we wouldn't want Santa to not find it. :-) Gene

Re: Merry Christmas Message #15 Posted by Howard Owen on 23 Dec 2005, 3:08 p.m., in response to message #1 by Matthias Wehrli Since everyone is rendering holiday greetings in their native tongues, I thought I'd do the same: Have a non-bogus downtime for the generic winter festival thing, and a quick, healthy reboot into y2k6. Metareality honcho throw some Zs at all you happy dudes and dudettes. (With apologies to nearly everyone, but especially to Lord Buckley 8)

Re: Merry Christmas Message #16 Posted by Eddie Shore on 24 Dec 2005, 12:18 a.m., in response to message #1 by Matthias Wehrli Same to you and all the HP'ers here (the BEST calculators in the world). :) Here's to a great 2006!

Re: Merry Christmas Message #17 Posted by Erik Ehrling (Sweden) on 24 Dec 2005, 3:21 p.m., in response to message #16 by Eddie Shore Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! (or "God Jul och Gott Nytt År" as we say in swedish). Not too much time for calculators for me this year, the 42S is still unthreatened as my first choice for problem solving, though!

Re: Merry Christmas Message #19 Posted by Don Shepherd on 24 Dec 2005, 10:27 p.m., in response to message #18 by Gerson W. Barbosa Ahh, Gerson, a throwback to the old pictures of Mona Lisa printed on the IBM highspeed printers in the early 70's! I second your motion for peace in all years. Let us hope that at least our children will know a world with real peace. Don Shepherd
