RE: The programmable calculator the HP-30b should have been
Since I am thinking that its programming model, if keystroke, should merge digits just like all other instructions and its keyboard should be arranged so that basic alphabetical letters do not need be accessed via a menu as is the situation on the HP-32S, maybe the calculator should have the number 32B. As to the display, I am thinking that if the calculator has the 15 digit precision of the HP 30b, it should just be able to display all 15 mantissa digits on one line rather than modifying the internally-stored number to fit it into a smaller output buffer, and of course it will have multiple lines, most likely a 7x83 dot matrix on top of a seven segment display of a 15 digit mantissa and a 3 digit exponent. For programming, I am thinking it should have 576 (4 gross) steps of space in RAM and flash memory for storing a library of programs. What do you think?
