ln and e^x on the 16C?

I guess it would have had to acquire a third shift key in order to accommodate more floating-point stuff. Perhaps the WP-34S is the calculator of choice in this case, since it contains all the 16C functionality within its firmware.

In case it is of interest, a presentation was made at the HHC2011 conference in San Diego, mapping out all the 16C functions to the 34S. Info on that is available here and here.

I probably would use my 34S for that if the 30b keyboard weren't so unreliable. Mine has at least 2 keys that often don't respond without some extra force. It's a shame that such good software is held back by the mechanics of the package.

And yes, HP definitely crammed a ton of functionality onto the 16C keyboard, and that's the functionality I mainly wanted the 16L for. It just would be nice to have a little bit more general-purpose scientific functionality. Just some basic powers and logs, and maybe integer/fractional part functions.
