Hello,

I bought a 28C back in December.  Although it is a very powerful calculator,
I soon decided that there was simply too little RAM in it.

Now the 28S is available, & I will eventually buy one, but just when I'll
be able to get the cash together is a big question.

So, could someone (perhaps from HP) email me some specs on the differences
between the two.  Some specific questions I have concern amount of RAM/ROM,
new commands if any, expanded units if any, expandability (cf 41CX & family),
compatability with my printer (purchased mid January), does the S incorporate
any of the commands found in the 18C, are any newer models in this family
of calculators/printers scheduled for availablilty any time in 1988, are there
any at all (That you can tell me about) on the drawing boards).

PLease make comparisons between the C & S where appropriate if you answer any
of the specific concerns I outlined above.

Thank you for any and all help in this matter.

(P.S.	If anyone's curious, the greater the improvement, and the less the
	likelyhood of a better HP coming out REAL soon, the sooner I upgrade.)

P.P.S.	While I'm at it, is there any upgrade policy other than `buy the newer
	model & good luck selling the older one' for these calculators?
