Title: Not the same as the original HP calculators
Product review: If you're like me and have "grown up" on HP calculators and were think "This is it! HP is back!" let me be the first to tell you that, no, HP is not back. The calculator feels a bit more fragile than the earlier generation and is missing some of the well thought out HP calculator innovations that the earlier alphanumerics, such as the legendary HP-41, hhad. The display does not show the function key you pressed unlike the HP-32s I own. Better yet the HP-41 showed the function and if you made a mistake in hitting the wrong function key, you simply held the key down for 2 seconds the function was nulled.UPDATE: Day 2. Now the calculator has hung-up with SYNTAX ERROR. I tried all the obvious keystrokes without resorting to the manual to no avail.
