Several kind folks have pointed me to this newsgroup as a possible
place to get help with this problem.
I have a very complicated medication schedule, and I need a handheld
that will let me set the alarms *once* and then go off at the same
time every day. The Datastor 8000F does this...for one day. You have
to reset each and every alarm every day. This gets old very quickly.
A posting to sci.med resulted in these suggestions and my checkup:
CASIO BOSS 9000 - no store will let me read the manual to see if the
alarms can be set once and then repeat every day.
Also expensive.
Sharp OZ 7000 series - did not appear to have the "set the alarm
once-only" feature. Also a tad pricey.
HP 41CX - Perfect. Except I haven't been able to locate one; the 48
is OK, but the price is steep.
Poquet/Atari PC with PC tools deluxe alarm -- an ingenious idea but
they are larger than I'd like.
So, are there any other contenders? Are there sources of used HP
41CX's? Any and all help appreciated on this one because the
consequences of missing one of those medications can be impressive.
Please e-mail replies to any of the addresses below. If there is
interest I will summarize -- and let me know if I can use your name in
a summary posting, otherwise I will omit it.
Thanks much!

"Mars is essentially in the same orbit...somewhat the same distance
from the sun, which is very important. We have seen pictures where
there are canals, we believe, and water. If there is water, that
means there is oxygen. If oxygen, that means we can breathe" -- Vice
President Dan Quayle, Head of the National Space Council, when
questioned on CNN about why America should send a mission to Mars.
