I bought my first HP (-11c) in 1981, I graduated to -48 and for day to day use, a -32S. All of those are still functional. When I found out, HP has gotten out of calculator business, I searched eBay for future replacements. A -32S goes for about $200. During my recent searches I was surprezed to see that -33S is out. However, I disappointed. WE are Engineers and scientists, we are practical people. We drive Volvos, Hondas and Subarus. The aesthetics of the new machine is horrible. Functinality has given way to fad. A shallow "v" key in the middle, serves no fucntion, and if ergonomics were in mind, , shouldn't the overall keyboards scheme follow an inverted "v" pattern? I was hoping HP's return to the engineering/scientific calculator world would have been more effective.
