the worst?

I could not afford an HP-41C when I would have needed it most (during university that is). When I started collecting calculatos years later, I bought my first 41 with great expectations, because that used to be "best calculator" during the first half of the 1980ies. Playing around with it I soon found out about all the issues you mention in your posting, the worst for me being this "XEQ ALPHA function_name thing". The most awful way ever implemented on any machine to invoke a function!

And of course the fact that now you need to buy three HP-41s if you want to have one that's actually working. On the other hand almost every HP-67 still works and these calculators are five years older than most 41s.

Max, I can carbon copy the whole experience and feelings you wrote here about the 41, but Massimo please do not put me also in the foe list for that, because I must say that after getting the first one, I immediately fell in love with this small computer that I would sometimes take on vacation if my sweetheart could afford it once
