Thanks for the comment Bob! I'm so used to certain quirks of Twitter/X it never dawned on me of different behavior for others.

Shortly after Musk acquired Twitter, access to other user's pages changed. Often you had to log in to see them. That's how I always use Twitter/X. I tried what you mentioned, logged out, and indeed you only see the one picture. When logged in you can also click the translate button just below text to see English.

So if you don't have an account follow these links:

The immediately following posts comment on the Japanese government trying to incorporate early calculators and computers into education. Guess you'll have to log in to see that. But one of those posts reference a sample program. I recognize that code. So you Canon SX-100/300 users might be interested:

The history buff links with Gates & Soros:

If you go to the base link:
https://x.com/Dream_Library_
you'll see its a currently active page. And mentions a "museum" website:
https://scitech.or.jp/

I find no way to e-mail either. Maybe Japanese users can figure out a way. With the minor translation I've done https://scitech.or.jp/ does not accept "commercial requests." So I assume if you want to buy a copy/scan of a manual that's out. I'd say typical of museums.

However, if someone is fluent in Japanese it might be worth inquiring if that website or other Japanese sites maintain an archive of antiquated technical documentation. Such as is done in the USA with archive.org. Or similar to the documentation set here on HPMuseum.
