Updated Calculator Reference Page and HP Packaging Message #1 Posted by Allen on 1 Jan 2007, 6:13 p.m. Happy new year! I have updated enterhp.com with a large (but still incomplete) catalog of some of the more popular HP accessories for the HP41C/V/X HP71b and 48sx/gx. At the bottom of the page you will find a series of packaging designs from HP. Most are after 1980- for obvious reasons :-) These remind me of the good old days. More Pics to come in the coming weeks. Edited: 1 Jan 2007, 7:25 p.m.

Gene; Ah, but that's the point. Big retailers drive a lot of this for several reasons. 1. It's harder to steal out of those death-trap plastic packages. Boxes can be opened and resealed without the contents. 2. The plastic often takes up less cubic space on a peg. Less space = more products on the peg = less costs for retailers to restock the pegs. A shame, but it's the way of life these days in many instances.

Re: Updated Calculator Reference Page and HP Packaging Message #4 Posted by Howard Owen on 1 Jan 2007, 11:22 p.m., in response to message #1 by Allen That's a photo spread guaranteed to stir envy in the soul of most HP calculator geeks on the planet! (At least, it does so for this geek.) One nit to pick: your copyright notices are all missing a "t" in the site name. Regards, Howard
