Title: Nice try, but no cigar
Product review: I was really excited to see HP had released a new RPN calculator that looked- well - like a traditional HP calculator.Not like one of those weird sci-fi inspired horrors like the HP-33s.Unfortunately, the HP-35s falls somewhat short of the mark.My complaints:1) The case is too wide and too deep, making it awkward to hold in your hand.2) The case feels hollow and chintzy. The HP calculator's of my youth felt solid, hefty.3) The 2 lines of display is just confusing. Who's idea was that??4) Where's the slipcase? The zippered pouch blows.5) Algebraic mode? You have to be kidding! This was probably dreamed up by the guy who suggested the 2 line display.Although I occasionally use the 35s, my main calculator continues to be the 32sII. (Luckily I acquired a stash of them beforethe prices went sky high on Ebay)-j
