(Sorry if this has been discussed in the past, but I haven't had access
to the net for a while)
I saw a reference to a new HP calculator coming out later this year.
Are there any firm specs on it? Is it a substantiated rumor?
Any information would be GREATLY appreciated.
A hopeless techno-weenie,

Does anyone have any more information on the upcoming calculator from HP? I
am about to buy a 28s, but should I wait? What is the new one going to
feature that the 28s doesn't have? And about how long until this new one will
be released?

And about how long until this new one will >be released? Yes, I have heard rumors that there will be an update to the HP28s and that it might be a mix between the 41's and 28s (i.e. program packs). In fact, the Associated Student Bookstore up here at Chico State has discontinued ordering the 41's in anticipation of the new calculator. Other than that, I have no other information, only the the insiders know and, so far, they're keeping their mouths shut (thereby DRIVING ME MAD WITH ANTICIPATION!!!!). I would say wait for it, see what it has, if you like it, buy it, and forget the HP28s. Good luck, D. Harris dharris@csuchico.edu probably be changing to: rodmur@csuchico.edu if one doesn't work try the other. P.S. If anybody has any other updates for the new calculator, please feel free to tell us; especially if your an HP executive.
