Re: HP calculators on sale w/free shipping. Message #6 Posted by Michael de Estrada on 29 June 2009, 2:49 p.m., in response to message #3 by Quan
I have owned HP's since the beginning with the HP-35, and while I did become accustomed to the ENTER key in the "usual" location above the numeric keypad and to the left, I much preferred finding it to the right and directly above the operators as in my NOVUS (National Semiconductor) RPN calcs (Mathematician, 4640 etc.). Early HP's had the operators on the left, so it made some sense to also have the ENTER key there, but once they were moved to the right, that did not make sense, which is why I think it was moved to the right on models like the HP-50g. Unfortunately, it was placed at the bottom, which I find awkward.
