Thanks, I joined. Impressive stuff. Now I have to ponder if I should get a HP-75...

You can explore the 75 using Jean-Francois Garnier's DOS-based Emu75, found here:

Although "DOS-based" sounds troublesome, it's easy to setup and runs fine in DOSBox, and it also works fine with Virtual HP-IL with ILPer and pyILPer.

It's a very high accuracy emulation, about 99.9% of 75 operations work the same, so it's easy to get a quick 'feel' for using the 75C, only costing a little bit of time.
