Jake Schwartz's review also "coerced" me to get a 32SII, mainly to play with
the fraction system.  I remember looking at the original 32S in a catalog
store, and only thought: YUK.  But the 32SII is a much improved machine.
  
I don't have my manual or notes in front of me right now (and my manual
did not have the "anomaly" insert), but -- if I remember correctly -- the
flag setting (8?) to produce denominators which are factors of the 
specified /c denominator does not always work correctly.  I haven't
noticed a problem with the flag 9 mode (yet :-) ).
