RepRap will ship today

Looks like my RepRap will ship today with an assembled RAMPS 1.3 electronics set. I told them a 1.4 kit was good, but I just got an email that they didn't have those kits ready to ship right now, so if I wanted it shipped faster, an assembled 1.3 board was what they had on hand.
It doesn't really matter, they're basically the same, 1.4 just uses some surface-mount components, no functional difference.
So I should get it Friday, maybe Saturday and have a project for the long weekend.

HP calculators

I just found out that HP is going to make a limited run of HP15C calculators.
I've been bummed for the last 15 years since I lost mine on a move. I'm going to get one if at all possible. Street price should be < $100, sometime around October.
I assume they'll do a slight redesign ala the HP12C platinum, but that's OK, that was a good update. Lighter and lithium CR2032 cells instead of LR44 cells, and still the same feel.
