Plus a lot of us (myself certainly included) can be drama queens when it comes to discussing bugs which we know HP is aware of, yet fail to address for future production. The list of bugs for the 35S is fairly long and in a couple cases actually deep, but it hardly detracts at all from using it in the way intended. Further, most folks that cry the loudest about issues in a machine like this would not be satisfied by its feature set even if it was bug-free.

Mostly it's disappointment that the 35th Anniversary machine was hoped to be from the 'old HP' but it wasn't, confirming the emergence of the 'new HP' with all that brings. In truth, given the changes inside HP by that time, the team did a great job delivering a machine that had lots of appeal to the old crowd, with almost no demonstrable market demand for where it would be primarily sold, the education market.

It's about 'what coulda been' and not really about what it really is.
