hpcalc.org being shut down?

[Eric Rechlin]

First, I have no intention of shutting down hpcalc.org. Right now it only costs me around $500 per year to run, and although I am no longer selling calculators to cover my costs, it is not a problem to absorb that expense.

Second, I can only update http://www.hpcalc.org if people send me files to add. And since my last update in August, only eight (yes, 8) programs have been sent to me (new or updated). So there really isn't much to add. When I do an update, I also tend to spend a full day and scour the Internet and this forum for more new stuff, so the next update probably will have at least twice as many changes in total, but that still isn't very much. If you want new content, you need to provide it to me -- I don't write programs for the calculators myself.

Third, I actually have been updating hpcalc.org regularly, just it's mostly been other parts of the site, like literature.hpcalc.org, rather than http://www.hpcalc.org. As Bob said, my focus the last couple years has been my book/manual scanning project. With the exception of the last couple months, when an unrelated HP-calculator-related project (you'll find out in the coming months...) and a non-calculator-related personal scanning project have been distracting me, I have been adding scanned books several times a week for years, and the last half year is no exception. In fact, since the last update to http://www.hpcalc.org in August, I have added 62 more books to literature.hpcalc.org -- despite 1/3 of that time being spent on the above projects and another good chunk of time spent producing over 30 hours of new videos for videos.hpcalc.org.

So no, the site isn't dead (it's very much alive), and I have no intention of shutting it down.
