Re: If this seller just wants attention, this is a very strange way to get it! - Jeff Kearns - 08-19-2012 If he was one of us, he would not describe the 41C as infamous. If this modified calculator is hardwired, it is no longer 'really' portable as in shirt-pocket portable. Not something I would buy.

Re: If this seller just wants attention, this is a very strange way to get it! - Katie Wasserman - 08-19-2012 Not only that, but the seller states:

Could you image anyone here saying that! As I age, I'm pretty sure that the very last piece of knowledge to vaporize from my semi-functional, cranial neural net will be how RPN works.

Re: If this seller just wants attention, this is a very strange way to get it! - Matt Agajanian - 08-20-2012 Quote:Which makes me think, "that's why this seller's photographed the charger face down so we can't tell the HP faceplate is nonexistent." But then again, a hardwired 'Archer' power supply (as seen in another photo lower on the page) is quite alarming in more ways than one,

Re: If this seller just wants attention, this is a very strange way to get it! - Matt Agajanian - 08-20-2012 Quote:That word conjures up the scene in 'Young Frankenstein' where Dr. Frankenstein's introduced with the phrase, "...whose family name is both famous and infamous." So, is that calc related to Frederick Fronkensteen? Re: If this seller just wants attention, this is a very strange way to get it! - Dale Reed - 08-20-2012 or Froederick...

Re: If this seller just wants attention, this is a very strange way to get it! - Prabhu Bhooplapur - 08-21-2012 This person has serious vocabulary limitation or in modern terms - "vocabulary-challenged'.
Re: If this seller just wants attention, this is a very strange way to get it! - Etienne Victoria - 08-21-2012 I guess the seller may have meant "famous" and wrote "infamous"...just a typo. Or maybe he encountered the infamous connector between the 41 keyboard assembly and CPU board :-) Anyway, he drew attention here ;-)
