Almost. The official spelling is "Ingenieur" which is just pronounced next to "Inscheniör". According to the saying: "Gestern wusste ich noch nicht einmal, wie man Ingenieur schreibt, und heute bin ich selber einer" (~ yesterday I didn't even know how to spell engineer - today I am one myself). It goes without saying that (in)correct spelling is an indicator of (lack of) education in Germany.

And yes, when you tap a key, the unlit decimal point appears for 100 ms.

Do you want to show the dots when the iPhone batteries are low? In the HP manual is written, that you will have 2 to 5 minutes left, after the dots appear, and using the calculator beyond this time may result in wrong answers - quite a challenge.

There's no way I can find out how many minutes the iPhone has left , so I turn the dots on when the charge drops below 5%. Starting to charge the iPhone turns the dots off immediately.
Of course, I could introduce random errors while the battery warning is up, but I guess that would be taking the idea of simulation too far... ;-)

Couldn't agree more. I got my education in Switzerland, so I'm kind of German-challenged... We do know how to write Ingenieur, though. (At least my diploma agrees with your spelling).

P.S. My comment was referring to Dr. Erika Fuchs' spelling of Ingenieur.

So you're an Ingenieur ETH ? Sorry, I didn't know about your Swiss background so I was carrying owls to Athens (or coals to Newcastle). And yes, Mrs. Fuchs was a great translator.

Or water to the Rhine... Correct about ETH. Elektroingenieur since 1973. When they taught about vacuum tubes along with the new-fangled transistors.
