Corvallis Division - DIV.39 Message #1 Posted by Joerg Woerner on 13 Sept 2010, 2:07 p.m. I tested yesterday a nice Canon X-07 for that auction site and found folded in the box two interesting shipping documents: 1) The unit was purchased in Japan by the company Yokogawa-Hewlett-Packard and sold to Hewlett Packard in Palo Alto, CA. 2) Shipping address was Corvallis Division - DIV.39. Any idea about the responsibility of DIV.39 in 1983? Skunkworks? Second question: The "Handy Personal Computer" states Canon X-07, the box reads X-07R. Any idea what the "R" is for? Not for rechargeable batteries... Thanks for your help. Regards, Joerg
