Salvaging the HP-33s and 35s

[Matt Agajanian]

Hi all. The workarounds and praises for the 33s and 35s you folks presented here are the main reasons why I also agree that the 33s and 35s are not deserving of life imprisonment in a trash compactor. On the other hands, yes a few, between 33s, 35s or 48, the 48 is by far a more function- and feature- laden 'in the field' tool.

As, Tevye says, "On the other hand," because of the helpful workarounds for 33/35s shortfalls such as my favourite Polar/Rectangular gem for the 35S as well as the EQN-Prompt-Pause sleight of hand, now it gives me more confidence that either 33s/35s can withstand my real world computational needs. On the other hand, a 48GX might just be icing and whipped cream on the cake.
