I did not understand all the fuss on here about the new "silver" version of the 17bII+ (I mean, how much difference can the color make?) until I actually saw a picture of one. It's the same form factor as the 35S, no? That made it seem that HP was going in the direction of a whole series of models based on this FF, like the Pioneer series. Hope for a 45S?
Then they confuse us (at least ME) by coming out with the 20B. A new direction, or a parallel line? Based on Gene's initial review, in spite of his describing it as a "low end" financial calculator, except for the loss of the Solver, it seems more capable than the 17bII+ (at least the gold one).
So I wonder.
