Hi
Are there any HP specific IRC chat rooms/server still operating?
There are some for TI and Casio Calculators but have not seen anything HP specific..
Hi Craig, thank you
I'll have a look
The nice thing about IRC is if there isn't a channel, just /join and create one.
Not sure what the popular networks are these days, but I think EFNet is still going. Or if you want to be new-fangled, just set up a Discord server. (The group I chat with about video games and other nonsense moved to Discord, otherwise I'd still be active on EFNet with them.)

There is a discord server for calculators and it does have a channel, for hp calculators. There is not much traffic there, but yeah if anyone is interested let me know and I will publish the details.

The #hp48 channel on EFNet is still online. Activity is very quiet in recent years, but there are still a bunch of people idling.

The discord server is called calcverse.
Here is an invitation for anyone interested

Not sure how long this link will be valid though.
I wonder if anyone has kept track of the various ways calculator enthusiasts communicate. Other than IRC, I remember the comp.sys.handhelds newsgroup (and I think another specifically for the HP48) as well as a calculator related ham net on 40m.

Nice, I did not know about the ham net. Quite unexpected
