RE: EduCALC catalogs
It's funny how things happen.....as I heard it, the ultimate reason for EduCalc's demise was that one of its office people embezzled hundreds of thousands of dollars from the company and was eventually caught after a few years. Had that not happened, perhaps they could have survived a bit longer.

There are some great EduCalc stories - such as how they complained to HP when the 42S was discontinued; EduCalc was selling quite a few of them, but HP told them that they were the ONLY one selling them in any decent quantities.

I think there was another one like that as well with either the 95LX or the 100 or 200LX - EduCalc was selling them very well, and when they approached HP to place an order to refill their stock, HP told them that they had temporarily suspended manufacture of the units because they feared that they wouldn't be able to continue to sell them at that same pace. Apparently, EduCalc had to wait months in order to get their next allotment.
