> but I heard once that HP was out of the calculator business.
I bought a brand new HP 33s from York University, Toronto about a year

just keeps on trucking, going on 29 years I think.

Actually I don't drink and drive my calculator at the same time, except
when doing my tax returns. The thought of all those major a--h---- in
Ottawa would drive anybody to drink.
