Anyone at HP care to comment on possible effects from Airport X-Ray machines on the HP48SX? Mine was erradiated about 20 times in the last 3 weeks.... One of the monsters was placarded with a sign that said ... "This X-RAY machine is NOT film safe" ( In Hong Kong ) __ __ |__) (__` | \ick ,__)terling ----------------------------------------------- Test Engineering Commodore Technology Group (215)-431-9275 UUCP ...{uunet,allegra,rutgers}!cbmvax!sterling

Philly to Dulles Dulles to Tokyo Tokyo to HK HK to Tokyo Tokyo to London London to Hannover Hannover to London London to Philly 12 of the 20 exposures were in Dulles and London. I'm thinking about getting a dosimeter! ;-) __ __ |__) (__` | \ick ,__)terling ----------------------------------------------- Test Engineering Commodore Technology Group (215)-431-9275 UUCP ...{uunet,allegra,rutgers}!cbmvax!sterling

I always am carrying my HP. My policy is to pull it out as I approch the metal detector, toss on in the little bowl with my keys, and pick it up after I pass through the detector. Also, sometimes this lets you show it off to the guards :-).
