Using loops and SOLVE together
Message #1 Posted by Matt Agajanian on 25 Mar 2012, 4:29 p.m.

Hi there.

Has anyone devised a workaround for #20 in the 35S bug list--using a loop inside a program/function to be SOLVEd?

I can immediately think of two fixed for this problem:

  • Buy a 30b and install the 34S firmware.
  • Buy a used 32sii and use that instead.

The bugs took the wind out of my sails and many others, too. Why bother screwing around with a piece of hardware that isn't even HP, anyway and cannot be reflashed? There really isn't any redeeming value to that machine.

If HP wants to sell that machine to me, they have to do a real engineering job on it and fix all the bugs.

I gave mine to a friend. Hope he's still my friend :-)

Which machine are you referring to?
