Here is my list of HP-41 questions:
	- I heard a rumor that fourth was available for it.  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?
