- Well, believe what you want, but I'm sitting here looking at one, wishing it
- was mine.

- I wonder why HP skipped from E to J though myself.

- Also, I finally did some parallel tests on my roomate's version J and my E
- in the equation writer, and they both seem to be the same speed. When I have
- more time, I'll try to do some more comparisons. Wouldn't it be nice if
- HP would include a list of improvements with each new calc like most software
- publishers?
