That is exactly what my problem was in school. I had an HP32s and was very happy with it. For the exams we were not allowed to use programmable calculators. I didn't want to use an algebraic caluclator because a lot of my attention would have been diverted from the actual problem to operating the calculator. This was in the early 90s, we tried to hunt down an HP31E or 32E in the stores - but were unsuccesfull. Ebay was unheard of in those days, so I ended up using my dads old HP45.
