RE: HP Prime - worthy successor to HP-71B ?
I gave in to getting a Prime when a nephew wanted one.
So I got two, one for him, one for me.
He loved his. I found mine to be an abomination.
Even in RPN mode, it just wasn't "right."
It wasn't until I saw Eddie Shore's video that RPN is not properly implemented in the Prime, which explained that.
I dislike putting my fingers on a screen, which the Prime loves to do.
Why I still use a "dumb" phone that is well, just a phone.
The traditional calculator interface has been through keys, which are the "magic."
Good keys, good machine. Lousy keys, useless machine.
The rechargeable battery is a turn-off. What happened to a quick change of coin cells or AAAs?
HP did a decent job on its latest remake of the 15c.
Why can't HP remake the 35s, the 48gx, with improvements?
