But not all of us have PC's, and not all of us have modems. And not all of us have lots of money for long-distance phone calls. Unfortunately, I find myself in the group of people without PC's. An FTP site would be nice for those of us reading this group. Obviously there is going to be lots of HP48SX owners with neither internet access nor personal computers with modems. So what do they do? If anyone wants to make a slightly disgruntled reader happier, I would greatly appreciate an E-mailed copy of the HP48SX information from the BBS. - Paul Colley Department of Computer Science, University of Waterloo Waterloo, Canada pacolley@violet.waterloo.edu or .ca P.S. I think the BBS is a great idea. But it isn't for everyone.

Living in Sweden the idea of phoning the US to connect to a BBS is not one I entertain. An FTP site would make the information internationally available, giving those of us living outside the US a chance to keep up with current (hp48sx) affairs. /MHd -- Programming isn't a science, | EMAIL: howard@lage.lysator.liu.se it's an art. | howard@lysator.liu.se Why is it called common sense, | Martin_Howard.d89.lith@xns.liu.se when so few possess it ? |
