Just spoke with a very helpful young lady at 1(800)HPINVENT. She said that HP is still in the process of establishing return policies for the old 17BII+'s without L() and G(). She suggested that I call back in about a month to ensure that my replacement will be the updated ROM. She also asked where I purchased my calculator for internal purposes, but that even without a receipt there should be no problem since the calculator has not even be out for a year.

Give HP credit for addressing this problem!

Now if they'd only release the 19BII+ ...

Bob, is that the only change, or did they also include any other enhancements in this ROM release?

B.

The worst thing about not having let and get functions on the old 17BII+ is that there is also a program size limitation. Because of that, many of the more accurate versions of Black-Scholes cannot be implemented on the old 17BII+.

There are also quirks as in (x + y)/z returning an error, and having to be written as x/z + y/z. To tell the truth, I got fed up with wrestling with that beast and put it away.

Once I get a replacement unit, I'll start playing with it again.

Hi;

for those who intend (I am one of them, as a teacher) to buy an HP17BII+, would you, guys, who get the newer models allow us to check for the serial #? That would avoid people buying older (?) units...

Thanks.
