RE: DM41X
It's exciting that progress is being made on this calculator.

Maybe it's just my astigmatism, but it seems to me that the labels are unnecessarily hard to read because the letters are squished too tightly together. Look at "SIZE" for example. The labels on the original 41s are easier to read in part because the letters have a bit of breathing room. There seems to be plenty of room on the DM41X to allow a little bit more inter-character space.

While on the topic of spacing, I wonder why they changed the labels for "CL Σ", "CL x/A", and "LAST x" to "CLΣ", "CLx/A", and "LASTx". They are easier to read in the original form (with the gap), and again there would seem to be room enough. [The same goes for "x=y ?", "x≤y ?", "x>y ?", and "x=0 ?".]

Getting ridiculously nit-picky now, it feels a bit unsatisfactory that "SPACE" is printed below its key whereas every other blue label is printed to the right of its key. The reason for that seems clear: there isn't space for "SPACE". But perhaps the symbol ␣ could be used? Or would that be too inauthentic? Or too obscure?
