And a Good Thing Too! Message #4 Posted by Les Bell on 1 Apr 2006, 7:40 p.m., in response to message #1 by Jeff Why should accountants be the only group to get the benefits of a full-sized Enter key? Best, --- Les [http://www.lesbell.com.au]

Re: And a Good Thing Too! Message #5 Posted by Eddie Shore on 1 Apr 2006, 11:27 p.m., in response to message #4 by Les Bell Because we accountants are special, that's why! LOL :) I'm an accountant taking mathematics, so I use the 49g+ more than the 12CP.

Re: Just Announced: HP To Discontinue 12C! Message #6 Posted by Gerson W. Barbosa on 2 Apr 2006, 10:41 a.m., in response to message #1 by Jeff A better prank would have been "Just Announced: HP to Release HP-15C Platinum!". Maybe next year... Nice joke anyway :-)

Re: Just Announced: HP To Discontinue 12C! Message #7 Posted by Namir on 2 Apr 2006, 12:07 p.m., in response to message #6 by Gerson W. Barbosa I was thinking about that one too, but then again I thought it would really be cruel since so many folks here actually want to see the HP15C re-released. Why not the HP-41CX or HP-42S???????? :-) Edited: 2 Apr 2006, 12:08 p.m.

Re: Just Announced: HP To Discontinue 12C! Message #10 Posted by Gerson W. Barbosa on 2 Apr 2006, 4:05 p.m., in response to message #9 by Marcus von Cube, Germany Hi Marcus, You had me look up in the dictionary. I've found 22 definitions for body, among them: 10. main part of vehicle: the main part of a vehicle, for example the fuselage of an aircraft or the outer shell of a motor car Encarta® World English Dictionary © & (P) 1999, 2000 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. Developed for Microsoft by Bloomsbury Publishing Plc. The calculator is not exactly a vehicle, but I think the definition above is close to what I meant. And in the thesaurus: form, figure, frame, physique, build, bulk Encarta® Thesaurus © Copyright 2000 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. Developed for Microsoft by Bloomsbury Publishing Plc. Perhaps I should have said 'shape'. Since it's very unlikely the HP-42S is ever released again, I'd be happy with a newer version, even in the shape of the HP-33S (really not bad). Best regards, Gerson
