Lost it on a plane in the 90s and went out to buy another as soon as I realised the loss could not be recovered. Notice that I do not own a 32s or sii.įirst the history: I purchased an HP32 back in 1988, after owning HP25 and HP29C. I own a 12C, a 15C, a 28S, 41CV, 33S (another failure), a 42S, 28s, 48SX, 48GX, a 49G (a backward step, more like backward run with hurdles, for HP), 49G+ (better than the 49G, but still behid the workmanship of 48GX), 35s and a 50G (Someone in HP decided to do somthing good after so many years of failures after the 48GX). I may pay more than $150 for a HP 42s or a 41CX than have way more use than the 33sii.
Even the 1980s RPN (again on purpose due to those damn NCEE Nazis) look and operation. I know there are a lot of HP 32s and 33sii lovers out there, but if you need another go and get the 35s. The 33s did not have enough memory back then or today. The HP 35s has a lot of limitations (on purpouse so NCEE approved it) but at least it has more memory than you can really use.
If you are looking to buy one for the EIT or PE, you just go ahead and get the HP 35s for $55 to $70. May be for a collector, but for a person that is going to be using it, it is just a plain waste of money. I find it ridicuolous to pay more than $50 in 2010 to own this. If you were going to go for an RPN calculator, you did whatever you need to do to get the HP 28C or HP 28S. Back in 1988 when I was an engineering student, this was not the norm. This was a nice calculator for highschool and highschool math competitions.
