They replaced the keyboard twice for problems that most people
would probably ignore. Sounds like operator error anyway.
It seems that an awful lot of people think that it feels like a
defect. The broken key hinge certainly wasn't an "operator error",
no matter how you look at it.

Press the buttons firmly and slow down.
Sure, "just press firmly". When you type, whether on a typewriter,
a computer keyboard, or a calculator, do you type that way? Or
maybe you check the display to make sure that each and every
keystroke registered?
But I guess that you never use the calculators; you just buy them
from those who underestimate their market value and sell them to
those who overestimate their market value. There's a sucker born
every minute, and you're eager to take advantage of their
foolishness.

But you think you are entitled to a free extended warranty,
An extended warranty for a product with known designed-in defects
makes sense to me.
Quote:
somebody else wants all sorts of expensive quality improvements,
somebody else wants free shipping. And you cry "thief" when it
fails out of warranty!
Read again. It failed in warranty, with three
separate calculators. Since they haven't fixed the problem, it
would've been rather pointless to exchange the calculator yet
again.

Maybe it wont last 20 years like the classics, but you got exactly
what you paid for.
No, when the 49g+ was announced, it was supposed to have a better
keyboard than the 49G. That's what I paid for, and still haven't
gotten.
Quote:
Why dont you get some investors and start your own calculator
company since you obviously think more expensive products will
sell better. Or maybe you could help HP apply for a government
subsidy and let the taxpayers finance your demands. As long as
someone else has to pay I am sure you will be happy.
Government subsidy? The taxpayers? Someone else? Wherever are you
getting those ideas from? I'd just like HP to supply
me with what I paid for.

I bet you dont even own any HP stock.
That's right, and considering where HP is heading, I'm glad that I
never bought any HP stock. Yes, I know that HP has to keep its
stockholders happy, but if it doesn't keep its customers
satisfied, then I expect that there will be some very unhappy
stockholders sooner or later.
Sincerely, James
