  It's VERY cool! You wouldn't believe the things you can do with it. If
you ever have a chance to get one, GRAB IT!

   Well, you could sent it to me. I have at least 20 HP 41s!

   You should see the tape drive! It's the same size and style and it's not
the usual audio tape kludge. It actually has high speed fast foward and
reverse and has a directory like a disk drive so the system knows where to
find each file instead of having to seach the entire tape like most old
tape systems. It can find and load a file in less than 30 seconds.
