hp42s non believers - david bowers - 06-16-2005 hi Re: hp42s non believers - John Smitherman - 06-16-2005 Hi David. Thanks for the testimony. If you don't mind would drop a 33s and 49G+ from the same height to see how they hold up compared to your 42s. Thanks,
John
Re: hp42s non believers - Namir - 06-16-2005 John, You are inquiring about the obvious <G> ... the 33s and 49G+ would stop working AT THE THOUGHT of throwing them down many feet!!! :-)

Re: hp42s non believers - bill platt - 06-16-2005 I just dropped my 33s off the desk on purpose and it still works...but i am not going to drop it 14 feet just now....not so confident in that----
Re: hp42s non believers - Namir - 06-16-2005 I think HP should hire many of us to to R&D and quality control!!!
Re: hp42s non believers - Dia C. Tran - 06-16-2005 If you drop the 33S or 49G+ they may not survive but then they won't give you a heart attack like the 42S.
Re: hp42s non believers - Namir - 06-16-2005 Maybe they will be stuck in algebraic mode??? What horror!
Re: hp42s non believers - Hugh Evans - 06-16-2005 That would be a great move on HP's part. I'm looking forward to turning this community loose on pre-production OpenRPN products, though. For debugging, feature-testing, and mechanical torture no designer could ask for a better group of people.
As a side note: OpenRPN is moving forward on hardware design. We should have final electronic specifications within the next month (MCU, SRAM, Flash, LCD, and tactile domes).
