[AZ-Observing] Re: The HP-35s

Oh Joy of Joys!!!

I am a dyed in the wool RPN user from way back and have never been able to 
funciton without it.  FOrtunately my hoard of HP's is still running well though 
a couple fo battery packs need to re built.

My hoard consists of   HP97, 29C, 41C, 41CV (TIMES 2), 41CX, 19C, 16C Computer 
Programmer, 48S, 48SX and just about every module for the 41C including the PPC 
ROM, most of the peripherals for the 41C and a few 48SX cards.

I am ordering a 35s as soon as I finish this email.

Thanks for the heads up.

I don't know how many of you are HP pocket calculator fans. It uses RPN,
reverse Polish (as in Gorodenski) notation, the only way to go. I bought
an HP-15c scientific programmable hand calculator sometime in the 1980's. 
I know they stopped making them in 1989 and so it had to have been bought
no later than that. This has been a really rugged calculator and it still
fully works, as beat up as it is. Once over a decade ago I accidentally
spilled some beer on it. I took it apart, rinsed it in distilled water and
let it dry for a day. This was a really popular calculator and I never
could understand why they discontinued it back in 1989. I couple years ago
I thought I could go to the store and buy another one and that is when I
discovered it had been discontinued. There is a web that was/is collecting
names of individuals who missed this calculator to turn over to HP to
encourage them to put it back in production. I gave my name. Today I
bought  an HP-35s at ASU which I think is the answer to the demand for the
old HP-15c. However, it is much more powerful. I bought it because my old
HP-15c is so old I am scared one day it will cease to function and I
wanted a spare around that works the same while they are still available.
I was going to put it in storage for that reason, but after looking at it
more, I think I will put my old HP-15c in storage. It is really nice. I
don't think it is built as sturdy as my old HP-15c. It was built in the
US, the new one in China, but it the same keyboard appearance. I just
wanted to let you know about this if you are one of those who missed the
HP-15c, and to let others know about it.
