I just received a package from federal express, which I thought would be an hp-48sx (since I seem to recall that I ordered one). Inside the Fed. Ex. box there was another box that said Hewlett Packard on it. The number on the box was HP-82240B. The box said inside was an Infra-red printer. I immediatly called edu-rip-off, they said that I was the fifth one to call today with the same complaint. Now here is my question: Is there really an HP-48sx, or is HP/educalc just trying to sell more infra-red printers by marketing them as hp-48sx's?????????? -- Eric L.

I don't know what you were thinking when you posted this racist crap, but there's really no excuse for it. By the way, I got my '48 from educalc without any problems, as I did my 28s when it came out. They're a good company that made a mistake, that's all. >Eric L.

If you aren't, then perhaps you might consider apologizing to the net at large, since this is the normal course of action taken by civilized people who inadvertently commit acts that society finds offensive. I think there has been enough turmoil and discovery over the last 20 years to safely say that society finds ethnic and racial slurs offensive. If you are aware that you posted something this nasty to a public forum with a WIDE distribution, then perhaps those of us offended should just dash off a quick message to the system administrator of "plains."

Mr. (though with his childish actions, he does not deserve this title) Hernes' attitude in no way reflect the users of North Dakota, nor this institution. There is no way to even begin to justify this kind of behavior, and I assure you if he gets an account back on this machine, he will not get net news posting ability.
