30 SIN, after blanking the display for ages produces 0.84265 ?!?

Also, pressing keys often produces (this is reproducable) brightly flashing digits. Is that normal?

Maybe someone who has such a calculator can confirm this behaviour.

Was the Sinclair Cambridge Programmable any better?

In terms of accuracy, not a lot, but as far as functionality, it's quite a bit better. It's still certainly no HP 25 though!
