RE: Poll: Landscape or Portrait?
Personally, though I've been "socially" educated on portrait, I just threw one into my hand, and sure enough, portrait fits. I've tried "fitting" it into my hand in the same way as a landscape, but it doesn't sit across my palm the same way, I end up cradling it between fingertips and thumb-support, and I don't know how I'd use a landscape calculator unless I park it on the deck. Which rather belies the point of it being a hand-held calculator. So, portrait it is, at least for me.
Now, as for authenticity, I wouldn't buy a HP-12C in anything but landscape, it just wouldn't be true to the design. There'd be a headache in getting the keycodes to work right. Maybe it's just as well I have a 50G to go with the rest of the tiny Casio stable I have. (Post 51) Regards, BrickViking HP-50g |Casio fx-9750G+ |Casio fx-9750GII (SH4a) |
