The HP-37s scientific calculator?

Quote:- My collegue`s HP 35s stopped to work. We changed batteries and reset it but no luck.
- Did you use real fresh new ones?
- Seems to have been some battery issue after all ... (might be bad connection). New batteries and it worked ... But we tested it before w batteries ... and it did not start.

This strange behavior of hp-35s was quite common.

IMO, you should not be too optimistic about the expectations of a new good calculator from HP.

Can't that relatively small need (if it indeed exists at all) be filled by using existing scientific and graphical calculators that are already produced for the education market?

That`s a great point! Currently, we can choose a calculator or emulator for every taste. Though none of them meet all the requirements, however, a set of two or three different models compensates for most the shortcomings and is suitable for almost any task.
