Anything I should know before buying a 71B?

I have little use for the assembler but Forth can be handy so I replace the Forth/Assembler ROM with the HP41 Translator ROM which includes Forth. Key in (or copy directly by HP-IL) any 41 FOCAL programs you'd like on the 71. The Forth & Basic environments are integrated fairly well and Forth is easier to pick up than assembler if you're trying to speed up parts of a program.
