- (1) There's a brochure packed inside every HP48 box that lists
- available accessories. Notice that EduCALC is featured not only
- in the list of vendors at the end of the brochure, but in the text
- too, with many accessories available only from EduCALC (for
- example, the famous, fabulous HP48 Goodies Disks). ElekTek is not
- in the brochure. This says to me that HP considers EduCALC a
- reliable enough source of HP48 accessories to mention it "in the
- box". But not ElecTek.

- I don't know about the HP48 box but in general it's common for
- product vendors to include things in the box pointing users
- to vendors of add-on products. The add-on vendors pay the product
- vendor a fee to be listed. Not everyone is willing to pay the fee.
- It could be simply that Elektek wasn't interested in being listed.
