Is this true? Does it run in finite time? It sure would be nice to have a real subroutine stack. - What is the difference between the new printer that works with HP-IL and the old printer that plugs into a module slot? I am thinking about buying one of the old ones used for my CX, but the Univ. of Mn. bookstore only sells the new one now. I notice that the old printer does not print out the date and time on listings like the new one is supposed to do. Does the plotter module work with it? - Does the plotter module allow you do make plots that use the full resolution of the printer? - What is the lifetime of the printer's head? - What is the lifetime of the HP-41 now that HP has released the 71? - Does anyone make a case for the the 41 in which the stupid quick reference card will fit? - What sort of non-technical things do people use their 41's for? I use mine as a $250 alarm clock/phone book/appointment book/memo pad, etc. What other things do people use it for? Ian Horswill
