Too many calculators?

[John Garza (3665)]

Great story!
Really enjoyed reading about your personal history with HP calcs.
Thanks for sharing.

Sounds like the DM32 is your best best.

You are already familiar with it as it is based on the 32SII.
It has more memory and is faster. Not to mention well built. VERY well built.

If you had not mentioned needing the equation solver, I would have suggested an HP-97.
Excellent large LED display, mag card programmable with printer.

But the equation solver is a great benefit. Maybe 70% of most user programs are simple "solve for x' type programs. One reason for the popularity of the simple programmables back in the day - like the HP-25. They filled a real niche.

9 calculators and you're worrying about having too many?
Stop it.
Start worrying again when you have 9 of each type.
But then, I'm biased

All the best!
