Oooh, lucky! Mine left Indiana yesterday, with a scheduled arrival here in California of Monday. I shall be patient.
What's this about new easy-open packaging? I would be grateful to HP if they've switched. The blister-packs so many companies use lately are a scourge on consumers.

I'd gladly open an old blister package, if I'll find a quality calc therein. So, how's the calculator itself?

What about the keyboard?
The keys are mushy-ish. No real click. Also make a sort-of scraping sound when pressed. Not bad, will take some getting used to.

No more blister pack. The calculator is behind a single layer of plastic which is sandwiched between cardboard around the outside edge. Just slice along the top, and it peels open.

Got mine today. They keys are mushy and will take getting use to. But the real question is how accurate is it. I will be testing it over the next few days, but first let me say that I am impressed with the ! key. It actually computes the factorial of a decemimal number! The normal and inverse normal distributions are computed correctly unlike the TI calculators which only compute them accurately to 6 decimal places (I think). Well, that's it for now. Time to play.
