- Don't forget the fine gold case, too. I think it was officially the HP-01. I'd
- like to lay hands on one in working condition, but probably couldn't afford
- it. I remember a writeup in _HP Key Notes_ when it came out describing, among
- other things, why the first HP product was called the 200A ("it sounded
- important").

- Anyone out there know if there was ever another HP product with a single digit
- type number?
