Why only May? What about the other 11 months?
My best wishes from Italy, everybody!
Why only May? What about the other 11 months?
Certamente, professore!

Nobody ever talked about "stick-ons"! Framed boxes were offered for those who suspect that SM's key writings would wear off, nothing more. Personally, I'm confident these writings will stand.Jaymos wrote: ↑Tue Jan 01, 2019 11:37 amDespite the obvious difficulties mentioned, I would like and prefer coloured moulded function keys as opposed to stick-ons or framed boxes around the keys. I agree that framed boxes could be a fall back option, or be provided any way, but I really would not like function keys to be the same colour as other keys. Maybe we’ve been spoiled by HP.
That's to Michael.Jaymos wrote: ↑Tue Jan 01, 2019 11:37 amFurthermore, I do realise the complexity of the almost ‘religious’ discussion around left/right operator keys and I do not want to debate that issue. But since both lobby groups are fairly substantial, my question (to Michael) would simply be whether it can be considered to have two parallel key layout designs (i.e. a top cover change only, with the left and right groups of 4 keys swapped). If this would be available, I would certainly order the RH-key version, or RH-cover as additional spare to fit myself.
I did mean prefix keys, i.e. “f” and “g”. I had no intention to imply any other colour differentiation on keys necessary.
Thanks for sharing your desires. I know that after Christmas is before Christmas, so feel free to post whatever wishlists you may have. I simply try to tell what looks viable to me within the (physical, economical, etc.) boundary conditions given. If you don't concur, please try to convince me. And if you don't succeed, try harder.Jaymos wrote: ↑Tue Jan 01, 2019 10:00 pmI did see the explanations of 1 Dec, and I understand the economies of scale explained on 1 Jan. I was simply sharing my ‘desires’ re. coloured prefix keys, as was suggested by ‘bob p’ on 1 Dec.
Thank you for again and again responding to different nuances of the same old questions from different individuals and potential users.
All three functions IDIV (integer divide), RMDR (remainder), and MOD (modulo) are going to be present in the function set, each of them operating as a dyadic function (as they were and did in the set of the WP 34S). There will be some 750 functions provided in total.gandhi wrote: ↑Wed Jan 02, 2019 3:32 pmAs %, ▲% and some other function's did in most of HP calculators, I wondered if it would be possible to get the RMDR "key" returning two values (in x and y register). Indeed, I find it equally usefull to get the remainder and the (integer) quotient for an "integer division" (I'm not certain if it's the correct mathematical name for that operation). Of course, I understand that such behaviour may not be the suitable for programming reason, also I believe that MOD function should remain at least in catalog to get the former single returning function available.
That's a bit more difficult: the Quick Reference Guide needs 13 pages so far. This is far less, however, than the 563 pages of both manuals in total.
I wonder, are you guys familiar with John Holland's old Engineering Mathematics Library that one could buy for the HP48SX? It's a book that came with a firmware card for the calculator, which would add more than 1,100 (!) additional functions for the calculator, including a very complete set of higher mathematical functions. An HP 48SX together with this library is probably to this day absolutely unbeatable as far as sheer range of numerical functionality for engineering mathematics is concerned.There will be some 750 functions provided in total.
