Even if you have only a slight interest in the stock market, you might want to check out Gary Leive's article on stock analysis. In the article Gary describes a collection of programs that he's developed that allow you to use your 200LX to capture, display, and analyze data on Nasdaq stocks. Gary's collection of programs lets you capture information from the Internet, display it, and then manipulate it in Lotus 1-2-3, all on your LX palmtop.

Hal's User To User column covers a number of interesting developments this month, including a new source for Software Carousel and the availability of pre-configured palmtops.

I think you'll also find this issues profile, by Steve Carder, MD., interesting. Dr. Carder, who started using an HP 95LX five years ago, uses his 8 MB 200LX in a number of different ways in his position as a family practice physician. His palmtop not only automatically sends and receives e-mail (via CompuServe), but one of his custom Lotus spreadsheets calculates the proper medication doses for patients, based on an individuals weight.

Also noteworthy is Ed Keefe's Through The Looking Glass article, in which he discusses Hypertext, as well as HV, the Hypertext Viewer program for the HP 100/200LX.

This is the last issue of The HP Palmtop Paper that Ill be editing. I'm leaving to pursue a number of marketing challenges and promotion opportunities associated with my book, Country Property Dirt Cheap: How I Found My Piece of Inexpensive Rural Land, Plus My Adventures With The $300 Junk Tractor.* Ed Keefe will be taking over as editor, so you'll be in good hands (see Hal's User To User column).

I've enjoyed working with the whole staff at Thaddeus Computing during the past 18 months, and I'll miss talking and interacting (via e-mail and over the telephone) with the authors who write for The Paper.
