Connectivity Kit. Still another major BUG

RE: Connectivity Kit. Still another major BUG
Yup, I do get upset.
Unfortunately I was raised and practiced a concept known as...
"Pride in Workmanship".
To try and excuse a bad product by pointing to other bad or worse products is,
well, I don't understand it. Never had a HP-48.
We'll get around to fixing it when we feel like it.
If I'd made a mistake and something wasn't right, I wouldn't sleep until it was taken care of. I would spent plenty of "off the clock" time doing just that on those rare occasions.

I extensively used and programmed the HP-41 for many years. (Land Surveying, retired)
Yes, it's not as sophisticated an instrument.
But I don't recall having any glaring problems like the Prime.

I think the reason that there hasn't been a proper book produced on programming the Prime and that there is such a paucity of source code after a year is that there are only a small handful of people actually doing any programming. Too bad.
Thank God the firmware is upgradable and hopefully some day all the bugs will get fixed. Just hope it's sooner than later. There are so many good features on the Prime that if they just worked and worked intuitively then we would have a really useful tool.

(notice? no curse words!)
