a thought/s just occurred to me
* wasn't the first product of the new hp calculator team (ACO australia calculator org) the HP48G+ a re-release of an existing product (the HP48G) they did this because they needed money (or they would go under before they began)
* many people in this group would like to see the re-release of an existing product (hp42s) (ok i know you want an improvement but when they see the sales of the hp42s they may improve it)
* the head of the software team is yves Attard who frequently posts to comp.sys.hp48 (we can have him read the petition personally rather than it sit in a folder somewhere
* therefore if a petition was constructed containing names and email addresses of people who would buy the hp42s if it was re-released for a limited period (this ensures access to machines for us and profitibility for HP) then given to yves.
anyway just thinking out loud
