I love my 32SII. When it stopped working I bought a 35S. It's a pretty good calculator but there are a couple of things that I don't like about it. The location of the execute key is not as well placed ergonomically as it is on the 32SII. And to execute a routine on the 35S, the ENTER key has to be pressed in the sequence, which adds an extra stroke. The 32SII only requires the XEQ key followed by the assigned key to run the routine. No Enter key required. I used the 35S for a few years and the Enter key crapped out so I bought another. But then I went on ebay and bought a 32SII and keep the 35S in the drawer as a backup. I miss my 41CV but I like the 32SII more.
I love my HP-32SII. I bought it 35 years ago (1987) and it’s pristine. And the battery lasts forever. Incredible quality. My HP-35… left-Shift and Enter became erratic after a couple of months.
The number of feet on the 32sii actually depends on when (and where) in the production cycle your particular unit was made. USA and Singapore models have four feet. The later Indonesian models only have the two feet....and are reportedly less reliable. (Nice videos....thanks for doing these.) :)
@@waynethorburn5712 Yes, we aren't counting that top strip as a foot. If you do count it, the US and Singapore models have a total of 5 'feet', and the Indonesian has 3. If you don't count it, the US and Singapore model have 4, and the Indonesian has 2. Regardless of how you count the feet, the 32sii is still a great calculator. :)
La 32s es mucho más bella que la 32sII, sin embargo la 32sII tiene mucho más funciones y tiene otra variante en color con teclado verde y púrpura que la hacen también muy linda. Todas estas son programables y te van a encantar si deseas adquirir una de estas con el método RPN. Excelente video.
My HP 32SII is a little cutie. I also have a beautiful, immaculate 48GX, with all the physical programming books. When the 33S came out ...... ugh.... Is it true that RPN suffered when HP calculators became dual-mode?
@@michaellyons1313 The 48GX, was the last of the ENTER key models in its rightful place. That signified the end of HP as we knew it. From that point, it was no longer programmed in Assembly either. I haven't used an HP programmed with LISP, so I cannot compare them. I could never get a 42S because the prices are horrific. So it is likely to be Swiss Micros 42 and 41 I'll be purchasing as "daily drivers".
Can you please tell me if in the HP33 (in ALG Mode) you can scroll through your calculation history with the UP arrow on the Home screen? /THANKS in advance!
I own several hp 33s and hp35s. In my opinion the most annoying thing is the durability of the keys. Many of my calculators, in particularly the hp33s after a few months have the keys not reactive and I have to push them two or three times to get the digit. I don't know what to do about that.
@@CalculatorCulture yes, enough humidity in winter but the problem persists all the year. I know some people with the same problem. I have no.3 hp33s and no.2 hp35s all with the same keyboard issue. In my opinion it's just the quality construction of the keys that's very bad, compared to the old HP calculators.
Your opinion really helps, However you're speaking is very hard to understand, not enough voice variation or volume and to get around that I have to turn on closed captions. I did learn a few Tidbits, which I am grateful for.
Really nice concept and content. I could not enjoy the video because you mumbled throughout. Sorry if I'm being to critical. I'm sure you can operate the calculators better than I.
At 8:48 I am completely baffled about what you are showing. The sin of 2.75 is about 1/12? No, that is just absurdly wrong. Yet I don't see how you got the calculator to act so weird.
Yes I suspect what happened was I had inadvertently changed the maximum demoninator setting to 12 and so 1/12 was the closest fraction the 32SII could display to 0.04797... but yes 0.083333 is wildly out. Apologies for the confusion.
