exactly my thought. I appreciate the enthusiasm, but one of the first things he did was look for differences between the HP42 and DM42 exterior. Drawn to the lovely screen, he missed the "SETUP" substitution for "TOP.FCN". If only he had explored that a little in the beginning of the review.

Yep, I missed it. But it doesn't seem to do much anyway, so no big deal IMO.

Yep, a bit disappointing, but stuff like this happens.

I did actually go looking for the manual, but just like the SETUP button, I missed it, and downloaded the scanned original HP42 guide, so I thought, "oh, it must be a complete clone and therefore doesn't have/need a manual" so I didn't look further. How could I miss it?, again, shit happens.
