They told me it's something else, without precision…
I hope this doesn’t mean they’ve resorted to making products that sacrifice precision ;)

Michael mentioned that the new product would be "keystroke programmable". I'd love it if they could produce a non-programmable variant. There are many exams (I have one scheduled tomorrow morning) where programmable calculators aren't allowed. This takes every RPN/RPL calculator made in the last 40 years off the list of acceptable devices.

If I've understood this right, it's a new calculator based on the Saturn CPU architecture (emulated on ARM), but without using any HP-copyrighted microcode. Is that right?
