RE: Finally got an HP 42S
Just to relativize the advances made since production of the 42S ceased, consider the time taken for this Task:

Factorize 765,927,960,121:

HP 42S: 364s ( 6m 04s ) SQFO
HP 42S: 149s ( 2m 29s ) FAST, SQFO
WP 34S:11s SQFO

using the same optimised form of Shanks' square form factorization.

The 42S is a great calculator, also an historical relic - the WP 34S current & cheaper.
