Re: Updates for DM42?

No, this will be a f/w update like all the prior updates. (assuming that's not a joke...) Still, it would be nice to have the DM42 firmware running on the newer hardware with a USB3 charging port. FYI - the DM32 is USB-C, but it's not USB3, it's still USB2. 3's speed is not needed and it uses far m...

Will the DM42 hardware also be upgraded to the DM32 platform as part of this update?

For curiosity, the current DM42 firmware v3.22 is based on Free42 3.0.15 (per release notes here viewtopic.php?f=16&t=3347).
I believe the current DM42 firmware is 3.24, not 3.22.

Re: How about a new priner accessory?

There might even be a way (albeit more complicated) to use an Android phone as the printer, with a special app. But most smart phones don't use IR any longer. So a dongle of some type would have to be used. I just think it's useful to have a printed output, that doesn't depend on lugging around an ...

Re: New 47-platform design layout R47

So I hear the frustration of not getting the final calculator in your hands. At the same time I also hear no layout complaints from you, which is a good thing (I think), which means you see nothing that upsets your potential way of learning and working. You are correct! I won't complain about any l...

Re: New 47-platform design layout R47

Just give me a final layout! As long as it is fully molded on the keys and faceplate and doesn't require stickers, I'll be happy. I can learn any layout if the calculator gives me enough power and capability to make the learning worthwhile. Done. This is the C47 layout, which is available now (!!!)...

Re: New 47-platform design layout R47

Why all this fuss over the keyboard layout? Did HP ever have this much discussion about it? No! They designed a keyboard and said, "Here it is. Take it or leave it." We took it because they were the best calculators on Earth at the time. You'll never get a consensus about "The best&qu...

Merci! 39 confirmed plus 6 orphans with anonymous parents (2 of them belong to the same person). Please note orphans don't count until their parents stand up.
IRL, an orphan's parents can't stand up. They're dead!

Re: WP43: FAT Benefits (Poll!)

Whoever votes for thermal paper printout, please tell me your reason(s). Thanks in advance. I like being able to hold the paper in my hand and analyze program listings or whatever. I also like the immediacy. I don't like the extra steps of having to transfer the contents of the FAT to a PC and prin...

Re: WP43 Bug Reports and Maintenance

Who would pick the difference between DO 10 I = 1. 10 and DO 10 I = 1, 10? The compiler?   :D I made a very similar mistake when I worked calculating missile trajectories for the US Army. The missile landed in a civilian's yard rather than hitting the on-base target. Fortunately, it didn't have a l...
