The links are munged in advance by the server with a
preceding "noparse#http://w..." that deactivates them.
This happens when you have scripting turned off in your
browser. The links would work fine _with_ this browser
setting if the server didn't go and break them for you.
This may be a way to keep you from trying to order online
which probably actually needs the scripting active in that
case, unlike for browsing which does not.
Not a great design, but heck, even HP has made bad
www choices in the past.

Sure does.

I should add that I have visited HSC in 1991 and heavily
in 1988 and wouldn't miss a chance to go when in town.
It's a browse-in-person kind of place anyway.
