Every month the usefulness of the HP 95LX increases. To see what I mean, just read the lead story about four software packages, check out the User to User column about hardware advances, see this issue's New Products listing, and study the advertisements. We're all in for a treat these coming months as these and other products under development ship.
A number of you have written asking about battery alternatives for the HP 95LX. Mark Scardina did his usually thorough and to-the-heart-of-the-matter job in researching and writing about this subject. Mark compares four types of double-As; two rechargeables, an alkaline, and a lithium-based battery.
Ed Keefe reviews Swift!Basic, a programming language for the rest of us that allows programmers in BASIC to create graphics and system compliant applications for the 95LX. At the same time we have not forgotten novices as you will see with our new "Basic Tips" page ("Basic" here means "fundamental").
Finally, both Thaddeus Computing (The HP Palmtop Paper) and Hewlett-Packard have small favors to ask -- both with rewards to you:
If you like The HP Palmtop Paper and Subscribers Disk and plan to renew, please take a minute and fill out the enclosed card or call in your renewal. You'll avoid getting any of those annoying renewal notices, and we'll avoid the time and expense of sending them. If you appreciate your HP 95LX, see page 19 and tell HP how you use it. As a thank you, HP will be giving away RAM cards to both the earliest and the best responses.
