The HP 30b had/has a great assortment of statistical calculations not seen on other financial calculators - some of them manage to partially function, some give different results when the input is presented in different manners.

The spec sheet was great advertising & fooled some (I bought models & used them in my classes) but I now advise students to specifically avoid 30b.

So much for long term advertising.

30b? I thought this thread was about the 39gII.

Actually it looks like the thread's about feeling dumb for being deceived by slick marketing and purchasing a defective HP calculator.

Seems like it'd be apropos for 35s buyers to chime in too, and maybe 15cLE purchasers as well.
