The alta-vista translation of that page is a little rough. I see mention of CDs and print-outs but I can't tell if he's offering the original CDs with the calculator which would be OK or only the print-outs. Can you tell or is it ambiguous in the original language too?

Dave, My translation (from college french--not a native speaker) which I am quite confident of:
"This calculator is suitable for a collector {or is good enough to be a collector's item etc}. The keys work well {to the touch...I forget what 'frappe' means but think it is 'to strike' so OK here}. She functions very well. The batteries are OK. No French manual, but have included a cd {printout of--imprime means print but maybe the french use this to mean make cd also} is included in English."

Hi, folks; as a native Portuguese speaker and understanding some of French (both languages share the basic struture), also having Emmanuel's post as from a native French speaker, I'd like to add that the seller has been at least honest when he mentions hat he does not have the original manuals but he includes a printout of the ones available at the MoHPC CD's: Je n'ai pas le manuel en français - I don't have the french manual mais j'ai acheté le cd du site hpmuseum - but I bought the CD from the HPMuseum site et j'ai imprimé et relié proprement - and I printed and properly bound (added, attached) les 2 manuels en anglais - both English manuals. By both manuals he means basic User's Manual and Advanced Functions Handbook. I'm not sure how Dave can deal with this; the fact is that manuals are copyrighted, and he is including a copy of them. Should HP claim it is not right? Is it up to Dave? My thoughts go beyond these ones, but I was affraid of the French text actual meaning. My 2¢.

Hi Luiz, your translation is ok, the guy is selling the manuals but not the CD that come from here...

I inherited a 16C, and since the manual was missing, I simply printed

Thanks everyone. I still can't quite be sure what he's doing. As long as he's selling the original CDs, it's OK for him to include the print-outs too. Someone mentioned auctioneers selling copies of my CDs. If you happen to see that, please let me know. Reselling originals is fine of course.
