Well, I happened to be driving past Laguna Niguel today so I dropped in at EduCalc and bought an HP-48SX. Just thought you guys might want to know what this net-famous place looks like. It's not big or spectacular. In fact, it's quite easy to miss. It's located in one of those small warehouse-business type buildings which you find in remote areas of suburban cities. The browsing area is not much--about 12'x20' with a couple display cases and lots of shelves for books. The back is apparently where they keep their stock and answer phones. The entire store could fit in a singles tennis court with lots of room to spare. In short, nothing to indicate it is a major distribution center for HP calculators. But I suppose most mail-order firms are like this. If you happen to be driving between Los Angeles and San Diego, the store is only about a mile off the freeway. The owners are nice and (almost overly) helpful. I'd say more but I was in a hurry and couldn't stay long. Oh yeah. Could someone mail me the command to show the ROM revision of my 48? And I've got a 28S for sale--make me an offer. -- John H.
