Uh huh.  The file is over 9MB (and I'm not using Paul Wang's defective
calculator)... and the server is s-l-o-w.  Netscape's estimates of how
long it would take to download via my 28.8 connection rose to 14 hours
before I gave up.
 
I have the tools (thanks to a friend with a tape drive), and they are
great.  Is there any chance HP could put an order form on Jazz and let
us order a tape copy?  I'd have been happy to pay a few bucks for
shipping/handling.
 
Better still, bring a bunch of tapes to HP World, or put a copy on a
machine there and let anyone who brings his/her own tape store it.
