Todd,

Brad and I have that one absolutely wired. There is a way, and the way
is clear. All it takes is a modest amount of hands-on assembly doing
stuff that you can learn how to do in a few evenings.

The puzzling human comedy there is how few people stay interested when
you tell them they need to learn a few new skills. And we're not even
talking about skills that are truly new, they are all things that my
grandmother did. It's, like, ohes noes, new skillez, you be stealin'
my bukkit! /lols

Thanks, Bob K.

Bob,

I've been following the HP-24 pages for a while. I can't see creating
a HP-24 in a "modest" amount of time, but send me the brochure ! I
would be very excited.

Todd
