17bII+ Message #1 Posted by Eric Lundgren on 25 Mar 2005, 12:54 p.m. Hi all, Does anyone have a 17bII+? Since it supports menus, it seems like a nice little machine to carry around..assuming one can store the trig series approxs, for engineers at least. Also, on the hp site, I found this statement: "These documents have been prepared for scientists and engineers to provide useful information about using the hp 17bII+ financial calculator." ...do they really mean the scientists and engineers...or did they just forget to edit the field from the previous calc template? ;) Eric

Re: 17bII+ Message #3 Posted by Eddie Shore on 25 Mar 2005, 11:47 p.m., in response to message #1 by Eric Lundgren The 17BII+ is primarily a business calculator. Do a search on this board to find approximation formulas for some engineering functions. If you do get a 17, please be aware of the battery consumption. I had to change batteries several times after two-three uses and memory is not retained when changing batteries.
