Swiss Micros misses the mark

With their LCD displays

Only if they could accomplish

What was done 40 years ago...

Really? What mark are they missing and what vintage HP had a better LCD display than the DM-42 / DM-41X‽‽

I've got a bunch of vintage HPs and none have an LCD display anywhere near as nice as my DM-42. It really is quite remarkable, frankly quite overkill on the DM42 (simulating a 30 year old HP-42 with a simple UI constrained by the display capability of the day). When the DM-42 is reflashed to a WP43 or C43, though it truly shines. The many modes and multiple-level softkeys ably take advantage of the display capability.

Imho the killer calcolator, considering the available hardware and software, would be the port of Plus42 to DM42 platform.
Imho Plus42 needs some more features (for example a multiple equation solver), bit right now it is an out standing calculator
