The HP-110 has a modified version of 1-2-3 version 1A in ROM.  I have
heard no plans to offer any upgrade.

The HP-110 has no built in disks, except for a RAM disk that gets eaten
every time you have a run-away program walk all over memory.

The DG-1 has built in disks, and 1-2-3 is currently available for it.

The DG-1 also has a 25 line display and very good ibm-pc compatibility
(except for comm).  The HP has a 16 line display and no compatibility.
future software for the 110 with the new 25 line version coming out
is questionable.

(The new version of the HP does not include 1-2-3 built in - but a
ROM pak with version 1A will be available)
