HP-32S II Expansion Message #1 Posted by Matt Agajanian on 13 July 2013, 9:57 p.m. Being that the HP-32S II is the better unit than the 35s or 33s, what do you suggest for enhancing its programming and memory potential despite its limited memory?

Same overcharged keyboard but more readable and a more powerful unit :-) I remember a poll at the beginning of the WP 34S project where people prefered "overcharged keyboards" - compare the HP-32S and the HP-32SII. d;-)

Re: HP-32S II Expansion Message #7 Posted by Gerson W. Barbosa on 15 July 2013, 11:22 a.m., in response to message #6 by Tom Mathes This appears to be a direct translation of "clavier surchargé", that is, a keyboard overloaded with functions (this makes quite sense to me). A "cluttered keyboard", as you say in English.

Re: HP-32S II Expansion Message #9 Posted by Walter B on 16 July 2013, 2:37 a.m., in response to message #8 by Patrice :-) Corresponds well to "überladene Tastatur" in German. d:-)

Re: HP-32S II Expansion Message #10 Posted by Thomas Radtke on 14 July 2013, 6:00 a.m., in response to message #1 by Matt Agajanian Get yourself a second unit to double memory and speed! ;-) I was fortunate enough to get a free Indonesian 32SII to backup my Singapore model. Hopefully at least one of them lasts longer than my interest and needs in pocket calculators.

Re: HP-32S II Expansion Message #11 Posted by Namir on 14 July 2013, 10:08 a.m., in response to message #1 by Matt Agajanian I hate to be the village idiot, but how is the HP-32SII a better machine than the 33s and 35s (aside from the layout design maybe)???? Namir

Re: HP-32S II Expansion Message #12 Posted by Don Shepherd on 14 July 2013, 11:47 a.m., in response to message #11 by Namir Namir, "better" is always in the eye of the beholder, of course, but I think many see the Kimpo-produced 33s, with its chevron key layout design (which never bothered me personally), and the 35s, with its multiple uncorrected bugs, as somewhat inferior to the last scientific calculator produced by the "real" HP, the 32sii. I enjoy programming the 32sii; I can't really say the same for the other two. In the same way, I think the 17b and 17bii are superior to the 17bii+, principally due to the solver.

Re: HP-32S II Expansion Message #13 Posted by Namir on 14 July 2013, 12:44 p.m., in response to message #12 by Don Shepherd Ok ... you have a point!

Re: HP-32S II Expansion Message #14 Posted by Eddie W. Shore on 17 July 2013, 10:02 p.m., in response to message #1 by Matt Agajanian Learn and apply shortcuts of RPN. That's all I got.

Re: HP-32S II Expansion Message #15 Posted by Matt Agajanian on 21 July 2013, 10:19 p.m., in response to message #14 by Eddie W. Shore Yes. I see your point.
