Yes I did, sorry for the missing "+", and this is already within a clarification... rats!

I agree, for most 17BII+ use, I don't need the solver, so I use Silver models. I like these so much, I have one on each of my 2 desks, about 6 feet apart, and that does not include the collection unit, or the spare unit, or the.... These can be found so cheap (one, less then $25 w/ship) on the bay, well... why not?

Although the use cases where the solver bugs affect calculations is somewhat narrow, I simply use a different machine when I dabble with the Solver (I don't want to spend time remembering exactly when L() and G() cause extra evaluations, etc.), typically a 19BII or 27S, depending on what I'm doing.
