I saw these the other day and salivated a little. As a commenter over there said, you can get one of these on IBM's merch store, although they're not exactly the same:

Having a vintage one, though, would be like ten times better than having a Field Notes pad (or Moleskine, or one of those rare unruled composition books).

Hmm. Those are vinyl and have a URL on the back. I'd much prefer having an authentic one. Anyone out there know where I can buy one, or willing to sell me one?

Just the thing to do with my HP-16C.

I used to have a few, and I suspect my grandfather still has some. Need to ask him and see...

If you'd be willing to ask him that would be wonderful.
