RE: New WP34S unit
I was aware that the input buffer was longer than the 12 digits displayed. However, to enter a full sized negative number in binary, 65 characters are required and there isn't space for that. Hence my comment.

Nonetheless, increasing the input size to 16 is an improvement but this doesn't allow entry of all 64 bit integers in any base. It could likely go to 19 characters which would allow unsigned input for bases 11 and above and signed input for bases 12 and above. Still a long way from the ideal.


We've got windowing indicators, mightn't they be useful to show long number input without overwriting the exponent? At least in the 7 segment portion of the display. The graphical component isn't require for input IMO.
