Thanks Thomas!

My apologies Walter for not checking the first post. Thank you for a terrific product.

Dear Walter,

Please put me down for one manual as well.

Thanks,

Peter

[walter b]

Merci, Peter. I've updated the list in post #1.

BTW, by an interesting side effect of forum mechanics, the picture of the manual vanished from said post. Here it is again:

Just looked at the thread: I've got the picture as usual! Curiouser and curiouser.

Hallo Walter,

Ich nehme ein Exemplar!

I'd like to order an additional copy of the WP34S manual, please. A friend of mine has seen the calculator and (naturally enough!) would like to own one.

Oh what the heck. I'll take another as a spare, ie. total of 2. That should bring it to twenty.

Cheers,
Erik

Thanks to you all. Please see my note in post #1.

To all who have contributed to creating the WP 34S,

I am a devoted calculator user since the early 1970’s since I discovered my father’s SR-51. I learned about the WP 34S a couple of weeks ago on the HP Prime forum and downloaded a manual (edition 3.1). It seemed too good to be true, such a well-designed machine with such a high-quality documentation. I received my first WP 34S a few days ago from Eric Rechlin at hpcalc.org, a professionally done modification of the HP-30b.

I have to say I am completely amazed by the WP 34S. It does so many things right, the way a hand-held calculator should work. LIke high precision and performance, intelligent power and memory management, and good keyboard design (both color and placement) in a lightweight package, for starters. In addition, local variables in programs, creative and intelligent use of the display, and so many useful functions. I was pleased to discover it has 16 digit precision (the highest floating point precision of any calculator I know of) but then I was completely blown away by the 34 digit double precision mode. Together with the NEIGHB and ULP functions, this makes it the perfect machine for calculating on ill-conditioned problems.

I am looking forward to using it as my main calculator.

Hi. As my first WP 34s is almost complete (just waiting for the keyboard overlay) I'd like to request one too.

[walter b]

Thankyou. We've obviously passed the threshold.

I doubt we can achieve that once more within reasonable time though. So I won't collect any further orders after this batch.* Thus, anybody who's just thinking about obtaining one - please think thoroughly: this will be your last chance to get a spiral bound WP 34S manual. If we'd pass the number we've reached with batch 1, I will reduce the price accordingly. That means if there will be >28 orders, each manual will be only 25€ or 34US$, respectively. Just food for thought.

* I'll then transmit the material to the printer who made the v3.2 manuals. So you can order manuals one at a time and get approximately the same dimensions but what is called "perfect bound" (although it's significantly below perfection for that purpose IMHO).

Walter, sir:

I would like a printed WP-34S manual. Please increment your request count.

Walter,

please add me on the List as well. I am based in germany and running a wp34s for more than a year now, but for the sake of completeness I think I need such a manual too :-)

Thanks and regards

Is it still possible to order a WP 31S manual, or is this now only available direct from the printer?

Yes it is, please see here.

After watching some HHC2014 videos and meeting Geoff Quickfall, I just returned the "Concise History of RPN Scientific Pocket Computing" (present in v3.2) into the v3.3 manual by public demand. Extended reformatting became necessary: e.g. on the page showing the entire timeline of HP's RPN scientifics, the smallest font is 7 points now to get it on a single small page still. Overall manual size grew to 374 pages in that course. These additional six pages will be included free of charge in batch 2.
