  Why can't they sell it?

   Yes but it sounds like you don't have any choice.

   They're relatively common in this area but I'm close to several large
military contractors and Kennedy Space Center and they use a lot of them.
But they are neat machines and seem to run forever. It's probably one of
the best machines that HP ever built IMO. They run a OS/language called
HPL. It's a cross between APL and BASIC. Lots more details on my website at
<http://www.classiccmp.org/hp/hpdcalc.htm>.

  What model is it? Open the paper cover and see what options it has.
