HP 34C Message #1 Posted by Gordon Dyer on 27 Mar 2003, 8:23 p.m. My search for an HP 34C on ebay found this new model... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2820151404&category=11520 Where is the enter key??

Re: HP 34C Message #2 Posted by Michel Beaulieu on 27 Mar 2003, 8:55 p.m., in response to message #1 by Gordon Dyer I don't think it's RPN capable... ;-)

It's a shame the 'battery compartment' is empty... ; ) (NM) Message #3 Posted by Jeremy on 27 Mar 2003, 9:00 p.m., in response to message #1 by Gordon Dyer -

You guys are confused Message #4 Posted by Norm on 27 Mar 2003, 9:24 p.m., in response to message #3 by Jeremy You guys are confused ! Let me explain. You see, that's just the cover. You can't do the calculations until AFTER the cover has been taken off. :o) vaa voom ! Nice red color too. HEY, that's the only model I like BETTER THAN the original HP-34C .

Re: You guys are confused Message #5 Posted by Speck on 27 Mar 2003, 11:09 p.m., in response to message #4 by Norm Unless it's the model with the "Do Not ENTER" key. Those suck.

Re: You guys are confused Message #6 Posted by Michael Meyer on 27 Mar 2003, 11:26 p.m., in response to message #5 by Speck You have to be careful with this model: It tends to cause a stiff drain on the battery (high capacity, of course) and possible electrolyte discharge. Using a rubber shield can provide some prophylactic protection, but it's not 100% reliable. Michael

38C would be better Message #7 Posted by Spice_Man on 28 Mar 2003, 1:47 a.m., in response to message #1 by Gordon Dyer Don't you agree?

Re: HP 34C Message #8 Posted by Fred on 28 Mar 2003, 6:26 a.m., in response to message #1 by Gordon Dyer Just have a look on other auctions !!!! You will see other unknown HP number : 36A, 38D ....

Re: HP 34C Message #9 Posted by John Cadick on 28 Mar 2003, 9:53 a.m., in response to message #1 by Gordon Dyer Although it has been a long time since I was involved with this particular model and type - if memory serves - I believe the enter key is a set of two or more snaps located on the back of the unit.

Re: HP 34C Message #10 Posted by Gordon Dyer on 28 Mar 2003, 3:55 p.m., in response to message #9 by John Cadick I prefer the ENTER key on the front![nl} P.S. sorry for lowering the tone of this fine forum.

Re: HP 34C Message #11 Posted by David Smith on 28 Mar 2003, 6:12 p.m., in response to message #9 by John Cadick Yes, the ENTER key is on the back. Only true professionals can use it single handed though. Then once you have it it RUN mode, watch out for the dreaded "NO means NOPeration".

Re: HP 34C Message #12 Posted by Paul Brogger on 28 Mar 2003, 10:22 a.m., in response to message #1 by Gordon Dyer Fully (con)figured, with redundancy in its implementation, parallelism in its operation, and lots of support!

Re: HP 34C Message #13 Posted by Michael F. Coyle on 28 Mar 2003, 4:36 p.m., in response to message #1 by Gordon Dyer Is this one of those "Spice" models I keep hearing about? (I was going to say something in here about tactile feedback, but I guess I won't.) - Michael

Re: HP 34C Message #14 Posted by David Smith on 28 Mar 2003, 6:12 p.m., in response to message #1 by Gordon Dyer Is it one of Carly's new machines?

Re: HP 34C Message #15 Posted by Wayne Brown on 29 Mar 2003, 7:07 a.m., in response to message #14 by David Smith >Is it one of Carly's new machines? If so, I'll bet she has no use for it herself. :-)

34C Development Message #16 Posted by Spice_Man on 29 Mar 2003, 5:21 p.m., in response to message #15 by Wayne Brown I agree. Its entirely too well-developed for it to be Carly's products. <G> Spicey
