It's not about having a better calculator than the TI-85 - which I find difficult to think of as a dream machine anyway - it's about getting a perfect HP-41.

... All in all I think the DM41 is very close to what a perfect HP-41 could have been, which certainly was what to achieve at Swiss Micros.

Thank you for this nice description. I really overlooked the fact that the DM-41X is more of a tribute to the legendary calculator. First of all, this is a great gift to the collection for fans of the HP-41. "Anniversary" and "Limited Edition" calculators are all very well if you`re mainly interested in collecting such things, and it should hardly be considered as a modern serious tool for computing.
If we assume the situation that the DM-41X calculator could become the main tool for some amateurs, then it is indispensably to have at least two of them. The more important the results of work, the more reliable the duplication of the means of work should be. To purchase of a spare copy at the current price can afford very few amateurs. I would refer the DM-41X calculator to a group of luxury goods.
