Gene; Maybe they'll mention you for the 10B's 30th anniversary article, or the 35s. Hang in there. We're all pulling for you.

                  
With HP12C I associate Tony Hutchins...

Tony's the real 12C guru, I'm just a want-to-be.

Please, I want everybody to know, that my intention was _only_ to mention Tony, without any ranking. And the rest (Who is Gene? Richard??) was only a joke.

Ciao.....Mike
