Considering 35s acquisition

I have been using the 35s since it was available in 2007 for exactly this purpose, and I think it does a very good job. Yes, there are some issues and known bugs, but I cannot say they bother me. No R-P conversion? True, but I could not care less. All others may write two short routines that do the trick.

The 35s really is a nice calculator for everyday work. It has a good keyboard, it displays boths X and Y, the most important transcendental functions can be accessed directly, and sin/cos/tan, sqrt, 1/x, y^x are even unshifted. Other features include HP Solve and Integrate, both for programs and equations. This equation mode is very functional and simple to use.

I also have a WP34s, and I really like its sheer mathematical power, its accuracy up to 34 digits, its versatility and programmability. But for everyday work I definitely prefer the 35s. It is so much easier and faster to use. Even commands hidden in menus can be accessed directly.

Yes, I like my 35s. ;-)
