I think most of the programmers post on their calcs' respective
mailing lists on ticalc.org instead, like the Assembly-8x or
Assembly-92 lists. But then I don't know if the HP calcs have

The figures the telescope was producing were all that was left of an
exploding star twenty million years ago. A billion small rubbery things on
two planets who had been getting on with life in a quiet sort of way had
been totally destroyed, but they were certainly helping Adrian get his
Ph.D. and, who knows, they might have thought it all worthwhile if anyone
had asked them.
