Even the 71B with its QWERTY keyboard is not optimized for typing. The Prime and its language lend themselves to development of programs on a PC which are then transferred to the calculator. RPL, for better or worse, is a very terse language and equivalent programs tend to be significantly shorter. This is also very true. Unless one has a proper querty. Note: I found the qwerty of the nokia E series good enough, I do not know the 71B. Wikis are great, Contribute :) |
