From: timite_h on 23 May 2006 03:28 So have you worked on this product or no ? If yes is it just an evolution or could we expect some significant improvements besides a working keyboard which must have been a feature of the original HP49G+.
From: Gene on 23 May 2006 11:12 Remember: Anyone who talks about a rumored product did not work on the product. Why? Because anyone who worked on a rumored product would be under a strict non-disclosure agreement where they cannot talk about a purported product. That is ALWAYS the case. If someone did talk about a product before it was released, regardless of the manufacturer, they would either a) be in trouble with the company, b) not work on any future products or c) both. Look at how Apple Computer takes people to court who leak information about rumored products. So, again, why would you think JYA would publicly answer this type of question?

I do know that I don't always know what I'm talking about...I think.

Correct, but he CAN talk about the RUMORS, as such, since they are publicly known. He cannot, of course, reveal which rumors are accurate, if any. > So, again, why would you think JYA would publicly answer this type of > question? "Lead us not into temptation"? o:-) -jkh- Disclaimer: That's the rumor, anyway.

Good news!!! HP's merger with Katie's appears to be very apropos ("Where Customer Service is #1," according to the website). Good to know! Also, the keyboard issues seem to have been laid to rest once and forever. The new shapes are simply revolutionary. Too bad for Kinpo, but you just can't hold up progress! |
