17bii, 17bii+ and 30B, or "Why did the 30B die?"

[Zac Bruce]

Thank-you both for your opinions.

I think I will stick with my 12c, although I'll pick up a 10Bii+ some time to see what it offers. They're cheap second hand here as it is the standard financial calculator for university students. Maybe if I find a cheap enough Sharp and TI I'll pick them up too, just because I've developed a bit of an obsession.

HP really seems to have gotten things just right with the 12c, I've found that I can be incredibly quick and accurate working through formulas or through the various functions. The combination of the button size, response and layout, the size of the calculator and horizontal format just seems to work so well. RPN has also been such a revelation to me throughout the last year or so that I've been using it.


Thanks again,

Zac
