I'm not sure how HP could know which 33s you would get Message #9 Posted by John on 30 Oct 2005, 4:42 p.m., in response to message #7 by Howard Owen
After all, remember that the calculators are not in a closet in San Diego where the HP calculator staff is located.
They are probably in a big warehouse somewhere in Asia (or perhaps smaller ones in different countries). I'd be very confident that no one associated with ordering, the hp website, or the phone tech support has the ability to go get one off the shelf.
While it is possible that HP in San Diego might be able to get one or two that way, keep remembering how many different products HP actually sells.
In the large corporate scheme of things, calculators are lost in rounding to HP's bottom line, I'm sure.
We are fortunate HP corporate has not decided to write them off entirely. After all, that would mean only TI and Casio (perhaps Sharp) making any new models at all today.
