Today, Agilent is that company and Hewlett Packard is just another "me too" in the computer appliance business. I just purchased a 35S and it is a good instrument. But I bet if it had been an Agilent product, it would have been more innovative and powerful that it is. On the other hand, it probably would have sold for ten times it very modest $60.00 price as well.
And yes, just as computers have not eliminated the need for a pencil, they will not eliminate the need for a calculating device that you can pull out of your pocket to get quick answers to math problems. ]]>Nov 20th 2008 2:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/hp-celebrates-35th-anniversary-of-hp-35-launches-35s-calculator/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/hp-celebrates-35th-anniversary-of-hp-35-launches-35s-calculator/I started out with a 32SII that followed me ever since. I love the keys and the easy HEX input. Hate the limited stack and one line display. As I remember it it mate complex number calculations very hard to keep on track...
"Upgraded" to an HP 48GX after that - but parted with it after having it lying in the drawer for a looong while: That crap was slooow. Seemingly it had an obsession with taking 0.5s breaks for no apparent reason (even while keying in simple additions) fairly often. It didn't seem to be a problem with 48G's - so I guess it was some (stupidly implemented) memory paging or something.
After that I've actually considered buing an used second HP 32SII or a couple of 42S - until I discovered the prices. Then settled for the trusted old 32SII and the PC.
I hope the "new" 35S proves to have the nice keys - and then I'll have to live with seemingly down-prioritized hexadecimal functions. ;-)

Cheers,
Anders (RPN fanboy ;-)

It was an empowering device for me and led me towards life as a computer geek.

I am very upset that manufacturers keep switching from LED displays to LCD displays. LCDs are much harder to read for most people with poor vision.

New technology used to help people with low vision, it is now increasing making our lives more difficult. ]]>Jul 13th 2007 7:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/hp-celebrates-35th-anniversary-of-hp-35-launches-35s-calculator/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/hp-celebrates-35th-anniversary-of-hp-35-launches-35s-calculator/
"New technology used to help people with low vision, it is now increasing making our lives more difficult."

I sympathize, but at the same time most people benefit from the detail, clarity, and capabilities of LCD. While we should never forgot those with disabilities, you can't hold back progress because a minority do not benefit. Those LEDs make me nostalgic, but not to the point I'd care to ditch LCD.

But I wager that the march of technology has benefited you in other ways to compensate. Who knows, maybe bionic eyes are just around the corner.

As a further thought, maybe there is a business to be had for you there. Design a line of old skool LED products and market them.]]>Jul 13th 2007 9:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/hp-celebrates-35th-anniversary-of-hp-35-launches-35s-calculator/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/hp-celebrates-35th-anniversary-of-hp-35-launches-35s-calculator/Jul 14th 2007 9:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/hp-celebrates-35th-anniversary-of-hp-35-launches-35s-calculator/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/hp-celebrates-35th-anniversary-of-hp-35-launches-35s-calculator/Jul 13th 2007 8:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/hp-celebrates-35th-anniversary-of-hp-35-launches-35s-calculator/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/hp-celebrates-35th-anniversary-of-hp-35-launches-35s-calculator/Jul 13th 2007 6:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/hp-celebrates-35th-anniversary-of-hp-35-launches-35s-calculator/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/hp-celebrates-35th-anniversary-of-hp-35-launches-35s-calculator/Jul 13th 2007 6:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/hp-celebrates-35th-anniversary-of-hp-35-launches-35s-calculator/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/hp-celebrates-35th-anniversary-of-hp-35-launches-35s-calculator/Jul 13th 2007 6:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/hp-celebrates-35th-anniversary-of-hp-35-launches-35s-calculator/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/hp-celebrates-35th-anniversary-of-hp-35-launches-35s-calculator/Jul 13th 2007 8:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/hp-celebrates-35th-anniversary-of-hp-35-launches-35s-calculator/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/hp-celebrates-35th-anniversary-of-hp-35-launches-35s-calculator/Jul 13th 2007 9:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/hp-celebrates-35th-anniversary-of-hp-35-launches-35s-calculator/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/hp-celebrates-35th-anniversary-of-hp-35-launches-35s-calculator/Jul 13th 2007 5:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/hp-celebrates-35th-anniversary-of-hp-35-launches-35s-calculator/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/hp-celebrates-35th-anniversary-of-hp-35-launches-35s-calculator/Jul 13th 2007 8:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/hp-celebrates-35th-anniversary-of-hp-35-launches-35s-calculator/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/hp-celebrates-35th-anniversary-of-hp-35-launches-35s-calculator/ http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm/WF05a/215348-215348-64232-20036-215349-3177377.html]]>Jul 13th 2007 8:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/hp-celebrates-35th-anniversary-of-hp-35-launches-35s-calculator/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/hp-celebrates-35th-anniversary-of-hp-35-launches-35s-calculator/Jul 13th 2007 8:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/hp-celebrates-35th-anniversary-of-hp-35-launches-35s-calculator/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/hp-celebrates-35th-anniversary-of-hp-35-launches-35s-calculator/

I'm more of a TI guy. Texas Insturments were the first, and they still make the best. They're the only one I've seen people hold around here. Or maybe it's because I live in Houston, TX.

Please, show respect for these amazing devices and the company that produced them. My everyday briefcase calculator is a 22 year-old HP-12C. I just checked the HP site and see that HP are still selling that same calculator which they introduced in 1981. Isn't that incredible - a product that has succeeded in its marketplace for 26 years?

Here's an amazing HP-12C fact, found on http://www.hpmuseum.org/hp12c.htm:

"One HP-12C was used by a zoo keeper to calculate feed mixtures. The zoo keeper dropped the calculator and it was consumed by a hippopotamus. The calculator survived the hippo's digestive process as well as the washing that followed."]]>Jul 13th 2007 9:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/hp-celebrates-35th-anniversary-of-hp-35-launches-35s-calculator/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/hp-celebrates-35th-anniversary-of-hp-35-launches-35s-calculator/Jul 13th 2007 9:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/hp-celebrates-35th-anniversary-of-hp-35-launches-35s-calculator/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/hp-celebrates-35th-anniversary-of-hp-35-launches-35s-calculator/Jul 13th 2007 9:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/hp-celebrates-35th-anniversary-of-hp-35-launches-35s-calculator/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/hp-celebrates-35th-anniversary-of-hp-35-launches-35s-calculator/Jul 13th 2007 10:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/hp-celebrates-35th-anniversary-of-hp-35-launches-35s-calculator/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/13/hp-celebrates-35th-anniversary-of-hp-35-launches-35s-calculator/
But it wasn't until I got my HP15 that I realized they were supposed to actually last. I even ended up with a second one when I saw one fall out of a cyclist's pocket and then get run over by a car. It was kinda dented but still worked perfectly!

(And I would have returned it but the guy was long gone by the time I picked it up off the street.)

My HP35 was one of the first off the production line, purchased thru a friend at HP.

It still is working, and has the minor error that existed for certain trig functions. Never could justify sending it out for the ROM upgrade.

Wonder if the upgrade is still available .

I'll be ordering one of these...even thought I have a 48 and 49, I don't really like graphing calculators, esp. when all I require is to simply calculate something. Has anyone here actually use the graphing capability since graduating from college?

I'd buy another 41CX, but have you seen the prices on eBay? HP should reintroduce that model next.

Agreed this would be better with LED's (or at least a backlight!), but for the price, it will do.

(oh, and I agree with the fellow who'd like the 200LX back...but it needs a backlight! DOS will still do...)

Now when will the HP-01 be brought back?
