Later in the garage, I remember asking Bill Wickes to look at some "weird" HP-41 instruction and he investigated it for quite a while, concluding that it was some sort of 'Q-loader'. Jim De Arras was showing off his hand-built breadboarded HP-41 memory expansion board. And on and on.... Fun times!

I remember the RV and the HP85. Since there was no mass media then, connecting in person was awsome and very productive. I was very impressed with the HP85 that by the end of the year I bought one.
