I think it's pretty funny too.  I gather that the motivators of the
split (a) don't think it's funny and (b) don't feel that it's any
reflection on the quality of the planning that went into this split. So
it goes.  I *do* think it's interesting that in less than a week the
hp95 has created more traffic -- without a single '95 having yet been
sold -- than the non-HP postings provide in a month.

Oh well -- it sure can't come in here. This group is for HP48's only.

"Nerd" is so demeaning, I prefer "fashion-impared."
