Next Generation Calculator

[Giancarlo]

Hello,
If I follow the thinking flow of the previous messages, We can say that students and engineers use their laptops or smartphones to do their calculations. If it is like this, HP having the prime available on several platforms (smartphones, tablets and laptop) has anticipated the future.
This future is not the one that we like but it is going this way...

If students are using less hardware calculators, I can add that working among engineers all the day, none of them are using programmable calculators. When I see a calc it is a four banger...

If this the future, and I cannot be very happy, I would like the calculator
Application on a laptop or a tablet as a full laptop application, not a small grafical representation of the calculator and I would need better compatibility with other programs like spreadsheets and word processors.

Then, on top of this probably the Prime is not the best calculator For Scientist and engineers. If the prime had more support for professional probably Thing weren’t going so bad.

However I will always support hp. Hp gave me so much in the last 30 years (I started with 28s) that it would be impossible for me to jump on the dark side. I will probably
Stay with the rpl family of calculators.

Thanks

Giancarlo
