hp 35s price hike at Wal-M? Message #1 Posted by ECL on 23 July 2007, 3:03 p.m. Somehow, I seem to recall the online price at WalMart last week was $49 and some change... Now it's up to 59: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=6015793 I'm bummed that I still can't get an in-person look at either Fry's, Circuit City, or WalMart. Oh well...guess I'll have to resort to the online thing. ECL

I wonder what could be behind such a move by the world's leading exponent of "price rollbacks?" Perhaps they are finally getting pinched with supply problems? Regards, Howard

I got mine at buy.com, $52 with free shipping if I didn't mind the standard delivery (I didn't).

Re: hp 35s price hike at Wal-M? + I'm not pinching pennies! :) Message #4 Posted by ECL on 23 July 2007, 11:47 p.m., in response to message #3 by John Ioannidis I'm certainly not trotting to Fry's to save money on shipping, if that's what you were implying. Its just been a long time since one could find a truly solid RPN calculator on the shelves. That implying a conservative-ish layout, solid color scheme, beckoning memory (mostly), native vector support, and a proud and functional ENTER key. ECL

Yes, indeed! In fact, although it might be stretching delicacy to the breaking point, it could be said that some other modern RPN calculators are now suffering from "finis envy." 8) Regards, Howard
