HP-50gII Discussion (split from 15c CE thread)

[Gilles]

One remark about the 50g keyboard. APPS MODE and TOOL are one press key commands. IMHO it s not necessery at all. they could be used for more interesting purposes. On the other hand I like the alpha keyboard because it does not cover the numeric keyboard. the problem is as soon as you modify a key (for example make a double key for ENTER), all the problems arrive in cascades. necessarily there are compromises.

on the new rpl I was skeptical about the long press but in the end it works very well. handling number display formats is also great in newrpl.
