Things that surely will condemn us to HP Hell Message #1 Posted by Sean Connor on 26 Sept 2009, 1:35 p.m.
Been needing to get this off my chest for 15 years or so...
Back in 1992 or so I attended an auction in Bedford UK.There in a box lay two 71bs complete with a Zenwand each. I had (in those days) no idea what they were but hey, they looked interesting. I bought the pair for about £20. I'm an electronics engineer and hoarder so my life is full of cupboards containing old circuit boards computers etc etc.
I had them for about two years and played a bit with some basic programs. There was remember NO internet to speak of NO web and NO information.
I moved house in 1994 and ....... threw them into the bin !
My pennance. I now have a 41CX with math/stat, circuits, Advantage modules and HPIL
Also a '71b with tape drive HP914A drive RS232 module, math and text editor PIL box etc etc
Have I done enough to save my HP soul ?
What sins have you commited LOL
