I saw a HP-48SX at flea market and I couldn't resist.

Thanks for sharing those nice adverts from HP written in the language of Camões, Erico Verissimo, Paulo Coelho and so many others to name here.

Aquele Abraço daqui de Portugal!

Olá, José!

You're most welcome! I imagined you would like them.

Um grande abraço aqui do Brasil também!

No, in 1992 the Cruzado (actually Cruzado Novo then) had already been replaced with the Cruzeiro (only to be replaced with the Cruzeiro Real the following year and finally with the Real in 1994. Interestingly both the Cruzado and the Real were ancient Portuguese currencies, except that Real is now intended to mean real (as in real money), not royal. (I'd like to believe we don't have a New Real anytime soon, but I'm not so confident about that)
