- Don't worry too much about that. You can use all the relevant tools on any
- computer for that exists a C-Compiler. You can connect the HP48 to every device
- with a RS232. Furthermore, you can emulate a PC on nearly every computer, but
- you can emulate nearly no computer on a PC.

- this board. As far as I remember, I never said which computer I use in this
- group, and it just doesn't matter.
