Speaking for myself, I'm enamored by the old machines for more than their utility as calculators. It's not just the build quality, or snappy keyboard "feel." I learned to program on an HP41C. I love bringing that old technology into the 21st century. For me it's nostalgia, and a sense of fun in playing with the old machines.

This is probably not the right forum if you are looking for 35S or Prime enthusiasts. Have you tried the Prime forum? You might get different answers to your question there.
