My DM41X arrived yesterday and it was a nice surprise because it was delivered to a neighbour with a similar address by mistake first. :D Compared with my early model DM42 I find the keyboard a lot less hard work and that is great news. I have a feeling the (all important) ENTER key has been redesig...

A recent order with Swiss Micros has made me a think a few more OFFIMGs might be useful so I’ve added a few more for my DM41X order. :D They’re available to download from my Amazon S3 transfer folder .

I found the best results in an old copy of Paint Shop Pro at work using these settings.

I reset the calculator and noticed the OFFIMG not being displayed correctly. Checking the FAT file structure it l...

There are a few more images in this zip file - all photographs I’ve taken. There are three new images: Moth: A picture of a moth I found on our wall Lost at sea: A photo taken on a light table with a model ship, cling film (sea) ,and a root vegetable island! Slide rules II: Just more of my slide rul...

I agonised too long over what subject line to give this. 'My images' seeming far too narcissistic. Here’s a link to some images I created today I created them for my own use and interest but hope they’re of use to others too. There are six: Anti-matter: Tracks through a bubble chamber Apollo: A draw...
