Re: Is it safe to buy the 35s now? Message #4 Posted by gteague on 26 Aug 2007, 8:19 p.m., in response to message #1 by Luke Hoffmann
well, the perennial whingers can carp all they want about the 35s and its many faults and bugs, but this is the first hp calculator i've owned in 15-20 years that i could pull out in front of someone else knowledgeable about calculators and not have to apologize for some egregious quality flaw.
i remember when the first singapore calculators came out and everyone said hp had gone completely down the hill--hit rock bottom quality-wise. little did we know then that we would soon be paying premium ebay prices for these very calculators while hp found unplumbed depths to their quality trough.
now if hp will only bring something like the 35s from the stone age into modern times with more internal and flash card (sd, mine- or micro-) memory, a usb port and a win/mac/unix connection utility.
