A new wiki: HP in 10 words - Allen - 03-30-2010 I recently ran across a new wiki- each article is limited to exactly 10-words long. There are some very clever ( and funny) definitions!! I noticed one was missing. http://www.tenwordwiki.com/Hewlett_Packard

Re: A new wiki: HP-15C in 10 words - Karl Schneider - 03-31-2010 A serious one for the HP-15C: Near-flawless scientific calculator; extended derivative of HP-11C and HP-34C. And a contentious one: Value and ease: Hall of Fame! Putting 41C to shame. -- KS

Re: A new wiki: HP in 10 words - Don Shepherd - 03-31-2010 Allen, what in the world does "good birth control" mean?

It was funny but I'll refrain from re-posting. You'll have to imagine.
