As far as I read here, it's still not yet finished. Everyone is waiting for it and is bugging Geoff to keep on finalizing it.

I talked to Geoff personally, he is targeting San Diego, barring the job, house, car and life ;-)

Cheers,

And for the uninitiated, by this he means he is targeting the timeframe of the HHC2011 HP Calculator Conference in San Diego, to be held in September. For additional information, please check http://hhuc.us/2011/ .

Thanks, Jake

And, he's also targeting reuniting some of his friends with some of their calculating friends who were in the large pile Geoff graciously agreed to repair?

A not-to-infrequent occurrence in retro-based forums and newsgroups is a subject containing just a name with the message body the start of an obituary.

Glad to know you're still around Geoff.

I am working on my Obituary, but I am hoping it doesn't get published for at least another 40 years!!!!

Come on, Geoff, we don't want to find your book to be completed in 40 years still ;-)

BTW, my first thoughts were like Pauli's ...

Many happy landings! :-)

Hello Geoff,

40 years... this is the very least I wish you :-)

I don't show up very often on this forum (so much to learn from you all...). So I grab the opportunity to tell you that I'm very interested in your book.

The excerpts I've already seen clearly show that this is an outstanding work. Congratulations ! Please, would you add me on your list ? Thank you very much.

Regards from France, Marc
