Hi,

oh thanks for all the input...it seems I am not alone (this time).

As said: My workaround is the URL input field of Firefox...

I dont like CTRL-V/CTRL-P that much...its a windows way. I am on 
UNIX. And VirtualBox/VMware/Vwhatever should use the way to do
it as the guest system would do it. It should translate
from select'n'copy to CTRL-V if the guest is Windows
and select'n'copy to click'n'Paste if it is a UNIX/Linux.
And Firefox should not "infect" UNIX/Linux with this
CTRL-C/CTRL-V-way-of-life if not running on Windows.

...but as I also think, that the HP42s was the best
pocket calculator ever made, this may only be
worth the two cents of the currency, which may vary
(or not). ;)

Cheers
Meino

PS: Who, who wants back the charm of a HP42s build
into modern electronic with a bigger display, more RAM
and run by open source software ("Free42" by Thomas
Okken) should check SwissMicros. They are currently
on the way to reinkarnate a new HP42s called DM42.
I am only an ethusiast and by no way affiliated with
SwissMicros. Check YouTube for DM42 for some short
impressions.
Can't wait for its birthday: Welcome back, HP42s!
:)
Sorry for the OT part...but...couldn't resist...;))
