Re: 12C for 11C and 15C fanatics Message #11 Posted by bill platt on 16 Feb 2005, 9:00 a.m., in response to message #1 by Mvdn
Until a year a go, I never used the 12c, but had been a long-time user of the 11c.
I have not found anything good about the 12c for daily use. It is missing one of the most basic and useful features: a backspace. And its programming method is useless if you are used to a better system like the 11c. And no trig. So, no, I have not found any "general use" for it. (Though its financial stuff is handy).
On the other hand, I like the 17bii quite a lot. Though once I traded for a 27s I was really happy.
The 11c and 32sii are so much more fund and easy to use than the 12c, that I just don't find any reason to use the 12c unless I want to do a financial calc--and then I would rather use the 27s or 17bii anyway.
I sound very critical? And I am a died in the wool classic HP fan? How is this possible?!
Because I had never been exposed to the 12c until after I had been exposed to newer and better machines. (I also find the 41c a bit archaic.......though very cool nonetheless).
regards,
Bill
