Got the 35s
Message #1 Posted by Arne Halvorsen (Norway) on 19 Sept 2007, 2:27 p.m.

Okey, 2 weeks from Spain to Norway, that what was expected, but one week from Oslo to Bergen! Had to be handled by custom, but still...

Anyway, was sure not to write a first impression thread since all been said, but here goes...

1. Build to me look quality except the display: Key response feels just as good as on my old hp-41cv but when I was to dust away some small particle a lot of black shadows happened on screen: The tiny plastic plate easily bounch down on lcd area to create this effect. No finger pointing to the answer on this babe!

2. LOVE the holster!!! Reason: I am addicted to the small moleskin notebooks. I typical hold them steady with one hand and write the other. Having the 35s in its home I can work it the same way; its an open book! It was first after working with it for ten mins I realized I was using it just like my noteboks... It will stay there I think.

Beside the screen thing it seems I have a new friend, still getting my 41 fixed though :-) (Randy, if u read, sending 41 gets a bit delayed... :-)

Hey, I bet this is the first 35s in Norway! Serial: 72800529

Glad you are happy Arne, after your long wait! I find myself enjoying it more and more, with the exception of the labelling of any programs I have written, and the somewhat asnine manner of entering text into the calc.

Otherwise welcome back, HP! So, what are ya gonna do for an encore?

Arne. Both of my calculators had nasty black LCD box smudges when I touched the screen, BUT ONLY ONCE. I purposely smudged my second one back and forth to fill it black. After it faded, all is perfect. I can touch, point, and push on the screen now and nothing happens. I'm not sure why it happens once, but it does.

Its funny you mention that Chuck. I thought that this had happened when I got mine. It hasn't happened since, so I though maybe it was my imagination.

Since I now actual have the possibility to do some good old rpn programming I have started a hp calc blog. Forum is great for communication but a blog is a nice device for organizing resources.
