HHC2007 & HP Xpander Message #1 Posted by Joerg Woerner on 2 Oct 2007, 12:23 a.m. First of all I like to say thank you to the great HP calculator community! I was a little scared before the trip to San Diego - imagine ONE Texas Instruments collector and SIXTY-EIGHT Hewlett Packard fans. But the wonderful event demonstrated easily: The fans of the HP 35 are like their calculator: Simply perfect! Thinking about the TI-Nspire on the nice calendar side-by-side with the Casio Classpad 300 and the Xpander prototype convinced me, that I should add them to my Datamath Calculator Museum (www.datamath.org). I know that there are some Xpander's out. Is there a collector willing to borrow me his working or non-working unit for a week or so? Please remember that I line in the meantime in Rochester, NY. Thanks in advance for your help. Regards, Joerg

Re: HHC2007 & HP Xpander Message #2 Posted by Namir on 2 Oct 2007, 1:39 a.m., in response to message #1 by Joerg Woerner Joerg, It was a great pleasure to have you among friends. We all share the love of calculators from simple to advanced. It was a pleasure to finally meet you in person, since I visit your web site often to check out technical details about different TI calculators. Also not to mention the wonderful eBay auctions you put, presenting a wide variety of very interesting calculators. I hope you also won some interesting door prizes. I can speak for many attendees and say you are most welcome to attend future HHC conferences. Namir PS: Two years ago I gave a talk about comparing the SOLVER function in various HP calculators, we as well the TI-200. The comparison was very interesting and offered a challange for HP to update its SOLVER algorithms.

Re: HHC2007 & HP Xpander Message #5 Posted by Seth Morabito on 2 Oct 2007, 3:51 a.m., in response to message #1 by Joerg Woerner I am so very glad you came to HHC 2007! It was a great pleasure to be there among so many other calculator enthusiasts. Although we HP users often poke fun at TI in a light-hearted way, in reality I suspect that all of us appreciate a good calculator when we see one, no matter who has made it. :)
