When looking back on the year that has passed there are two major aspects that for me, personally, stand out from the rest. First of all this is the year when I have given up hope altogether about Hewlett Packard's calculator division. After endless email conversations with people at different levels in the HP organisation it is to me perfectly clear that HP will never do anything whatsoever (profit or non-profit) to serve its RPN user community - a user community that nonetheless is blindly loyal to the HP spirit of old days.
Just to name a few of the things I am thinking of -
Because (and this is the flip side of the same coin) there are values buried deep in the HP spirit strong enough to bring together developers and users from all over the world willing to take the HP-42S into the future. Here the commitment to high quality, accuracy and reliability unites and this is what the HP spirit in essence stands for. It is indeed much more than just being nostalgic about an old calculator considered "the best ever made", it is about the true belief that persistently paying attention to the triplet of quality, accuracy and reliability will eventually push the very limits for our capabilities forward. Quality lives on, cheap solutions are only for the moment.
The last year more things has happened on the HP-42S horizon than, I would say, the five years previous to that.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone!

On the topic of including emulators with Pocket PCs: Yesterday I was setting up a network for a friend. We unplugged her Pentium I from the wall and the CMOS battery was bad. Well to make a long story short, we replaced it with some extra parts we had (Athlon 850, 256 mb, 10 gb, geforce 2). So, we went to migrate files from her old HP computer and I noticed that there was a folder called "HPCALC." Of course I opened it and it had a financial calculator emulator. I am pretty sure that the owner of this computer did not put it on. I didn't have much time to look at it, but it didn't look to be amazingly good (didn't seem to have a good keyboard on screen... just a few buttons). It did support ALG and RPN and seemed to be a 12c emulator. Has anyone else ever seen this? -Ben Salinas Oh, and Merry Christmas to all!

Hi Ben, HPCALC and the associated program HPPIM came with the HP OMNIBOOK computers. They were both derivatives of the programs in the HP-200LX handheld calculators and are quite good. From the HPCALC Application menu, you could select Arithmethic, TVM, Business, Solver, Conversion and Math style calculators. For those of us that used the HP-200LX, it was a very familar calculator. The HPPIM was a PIM program that directly used the files from the 200LX. Another very nice program. Since I used a HP-200LX for many years, I still use the windows HPPIM program to access archived data. And I still used HPCALC to quickly do TVM problems - especially when I was purchasing and refinacing my home. Both programs are loaded on all my PC's. Hopefully you saved a copy for reloading onto the new configuration. If not, there are several locations on the Net where they can be downloaded from, such as the following link: http://24.237.160.4/files/omnibook/ob430/Software/430_win31_special_files/ While HPCALC may not be as fancy as some of the new calculators, it does have a very simple and elegant interface I find very appealing. Happy Holidays & Merry Christmas, Bill
