Is no one with a Gameboy out there? I think its a handheld, too.
So why arent any articles about it?
Does anybody like to make a new group *Gameboy,Lynx and so on*?
Ciao,
Joerg.

The Lynx hand held video game system is discussed in rec.games.video, while the HP-95 Lynx palmtop computer is discussed here. I imagine that is going to confuse a LOT of casual observers of article headers of this group that have Lynx in the header. >-- >Jim Omura, 2A King George's Drive, Toronto, (416) 652-3880 >lsuc!jimomura >Byte Information eXchange: jimomura Harry Herman herman@corpane

Re: HP-95 Lynx palmtop computer (Harry Herman)
Wasn't the codename of the HP-95 Jaguar? Not Lynx. I've heard the 95
referred to as the Jaguar, but not as the Lynx. Actually, I wonder why
people still call the 95 by its codename Jaguar, after all, nobody refers
to the 48SX as the Charlemagne or the 48S as Shorty.

Andrey Dolgachev writes "Nobody refers to the 48SX as the Charlemagne or the 48S as Shorty." Correct, but there are precedents for calling the 95 "Jaguar". The HP-71 was Titan to all who knew and loved it, and the HP-75 was a "Roo" to many of us. If the 48SX had had a different code name, it may have stuck as well as Jaguar's. -- Joseph K.

Joseph K. Horn writes "Andrey Dolgachev writes 'Nobody refers to the 48SX as the Charlemagne or >the 48S as Shorty.'" My young cousin refers to his 48SX as "Charlemagne", but then again his mother works at HP Corvallis so he probably heard of it by code name long before it was in distribution. -- Steve VanDevender stevev@greylady.uoregon.edu "Bipedalism--an unrecognized disease affecting over 99% of the population.

I am reading too many newsgroups, and having to read them at night after work. I appologise for any confusion the post may have caused. I read rec.games.video so see lots of posts for the Lynx videogame system. I then mistakenly thought that the "LX" in HP95LX was short for "Lynx". As far as using code names instead of product numbers, I prefer products with names instead of numbers. Also, if I had only heard of the HP48SX as Charlemagne instead of HP48SX, I probably would have a hard time breaking myself of the habbit once the marketing gods (or whoever) decided on the "real" product name. Also, when talking verbally to somebody, it is quicker to say Jaguar than to say "H P ninetyfive L X" or "H P ninetyfive". Of course, I am not sure whether I would use HP48 or Charlemagne :-).
