SwissMicros Calculator Forum

There are many users who have operated the classic RPN calculator with two thumbs. With this type of operation and with the one-finger version for right-handers, the lower left button is ergonomically less accessible than the + button on the "classics" Position. Thanks. May be. At least t...

Thanks, Bob. Are there plans to close this gap?

I have searched this forum but couldn't find anything about it, so please allow me asking:

Is there a DM42 simulator (or emulator) you can run on a PC? And if true, where?

Of course, you can run Free42 on a PC but this is not the same, display-wise at least.

It's the Durban Black 4XL. That does have a belt loop, unfortunately, but it is flat, so it's not in the way fortunately.

Depends. IMO it does have a belt loop, fortunately, and its dimensions suit my smartphone as well (no iPhone).

Oh, and speaking of overlays, I emailed Eric over a month ago and have had no response. Is the Euro source good to go? I picked up a 20B for $5 USD and thought it would make a good WP 31. And can use backup overlays for my two 34s. For 5$, you can hardly complain. Though I'd prefer the 30B by far f...

Looking at the proposed keyboard layout for the 43S, my initial conclusion is that it's overkill for me

You can customize it to underkill.

Pros of the DM41X are the full customisability of the keyboard, the fact that no menus are needed, and the wealth of available modules (even if I probably don't need many of them). My main objection is the lack of named variables. Pros of the DM42 are the named variables (a big plus), which are als...

Actually, it's much easier than all the stuff posted. As long as you download the file properly (ya, that part bit my ass). Use your left hand to hold three wires steady, and your right hand to press the power button on the inverted 30B body, you are golden. No need for resistors, or thingies that ...

The price is quite reasonable IMHO, but shipping to USA unfortunately doubles that. Too bad...

Usually it's the other way around. So let us enjoy once at least...

So the result with Free42 is 8.999999999999999999999999999937534. Amazing !

As amazing as WP34S since 2011 and WP43S...

EDIT: Sorry, I forgot a deviation of 1e-34 (sic!). The WP34S produces the correctly rounded result ...37535 as well as the WP43S. Merci to Over_score for reminding me.
