In support of the 33s & 35s

[cjmcc]

I never had real problems with the HP33S. The appearance was a little strange, and I never used it enough to get fully comfortable with the layout. What struck me the most was how much faster it ran programs compared to my HP15C. On the 33, calculating great circle distance and heading happened almost instantly. My 15 could handle it, but wanted a chance to think about it a little bit.
The HP35S is a sharp looking calculator. It's a shame no path was provided to correct the nits discovered after the release. It looks sharp, provides a lot of functionality, and came close to being a true classic.
