Why not have the DM43 be a triple coin battery design? I've heard stories of other calculators with such a design that had a battery life expectancy on the order of decades. My DM42 still shows "full" and I've been using it almost daily for a couple of months, but still...

Thanks for the clarification

I'm not really against it. I have never tried it on that side. If the majority want it then maybe there is some advantage to it I can't think of. I am more curious than anything as to why most people prefer it that way.

Maybe this post will help someone else to save some money.

It was more expensive to buy it off Amazon than swissmicros.com for sure. Quite a bit more. I bought it off Amazon anyway. The reason is, I read that sellers are supposed to include all duties/fees in their price when selling on Amazon.ca. So I was hoping there wouldn't be any surprises and buying f...

I notice that the calculator is currently 307 Canadian dollars (plus 23 CAD for shipping) on Amazon. This seems more expensive than directly buying it from Swissmicros. Since Swissmicros 199 CHF price converts to roughly 267 CAD. I don't see a shipping price however. What additional fees are there w...
