IRC Chat? - HP-12C - 03-18-2023 12:46 AM
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..

I didn't find any using this search: https://netsplit.de/channels/?chat=hp+calculator
However different keywords might find something.

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 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 https://discord.gg/JjUk7gyu
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

It seems to be expired, but you can get an invitation by clicking on the big "Join us on Discord" button on the Calcverse wiki main page.
