My least favorite thing about the HP 65

[Dave Britten]

...Having to add "-ink" to any web search I do.

Besides that, top marks all around.

Anybody happen to know of any particularly good 65 program repositories so I can stop wading through inkjet cartridges trying to find software?

Mine is the missing BST.

I usually search for calculator in addition to the model number but still get some ink spam in the results.

Not a great deal, but there are 150 programs on my web site for the HP65.

DemoPac1, MathPac1, EEPac1, StandPac1, AVPac1

They are zipped up in the HP65 module download for the emulator.

You seem to be missing the HP-65 Black/Tri-Color Pac.

Fair, but I'm still going with the damn ink cartridges. With only 100 steps, I usually have enough labels sprinkled around to quickly get to the step I need.

It seems like -ink works well since it forces "ink" to not appear in the results. (But then you may then miss discussions of the best ink pens to use for labeling program cards.)

Some poorly designed search engines that think they know better than you what you want to see will often include results that are missing one of your search terms, or which include only tangentially-related terms. For example, ebay treats the terms calculator and computer essentially interchangeably unless you put the word in quote marks to force an exact match of one or the other. So searching for hp 65 calculator might require you to quote "calculator" to force the term to appear as-is if you're using Google or DuckDuckGo.

On ebay, it helps to add -monitor to the search for certain models, for example HP-27S. Even adding calculator lets through some monitor spam, and might hide some desired Taschenrechners and calculatrices.
