Re: 17Bii and 19Bii Message #6 Posted by Scuba Diver on 31 Jan 2003, 9:44 a.m., in response to message #2 by Christof
HP found a new batch of these? But the 19BII is still being sold here (Toronto). The Staples Business Depot down the street has 3 on display! I know that the 19 has been discontinued, but I assumed that there was still lots of stock available. After reading your email, I'm guessing that my assumption was wrong. Are these calcs hard to find??
My only advice would be; if these 19s are the Indonesian models (they have black keys instead of charcoal), STAY AWAY! I've used two of these new ones and they are nothing like the older 19BIIs. The keys are loose and the fit and finish is poor.
I have a 17BII and a 19BII and I couldn't imagine being without either of them. I am, however, curious to see HP's new lineup of business calculators (whenever THAT will be). I'm willing to bet that they will not allow users to choose between ALG and RPN.
That will be a sad day.
