to get something to replace my old TI85 I had from high school.
Lots of you here rave about the HP's offerings. Indeed, I wanted to get,
but couldn't afford an HP48g when they were new. I don't have much need
for graphing now, but I do need scientific calculation. The HP35s seems
good for that. Or should I just jump in and get the HP50g?
I'd get the 50g.
I assume you want an RPN machine, that's the most common reason for
wantign an HP clacualtor (the other reason -- fnatasitc build quality --
doesn't really apply any more :-().
I'm gravitating towards the 50g. Though I like the return to the old
keyboard layout in the 35s, the list of bugs in that calculator has me
annoyed. It's not clear to me how or even if the 35s firmware can be
updated. The 50g's layout looks a lot like a TI, but I can deal with
that.
