Behold the WP-30S

[Eric Rechlin]

Sanjeev,

I don't like the idea of small labels next to the keys, because they will not be easy to install, and due to their small size will almost certainly look crooked. Maybe putting small letters on select keys (such as the ABCDIJKTXYZ that you propose) may work best. I'd like to see the alpha layout finalized before I do this, though, as I know this has changed a couple times now.

But still, to me the 30S is most useful as a simple scientific calculator. Letters should not be necessary on such a calculator. The 31S is (perhaps unfortunately) going in a direction of greater complexity, where letters seem to make more sense.

Gene got one because I had his address. If you send me your address I'll make sure to send you one from the next revision.
