Have you used your calculator for something that was not really math related?

(The slowness of its text editor limits the scope of the last two.) As you might guess from this, I don't have, or want, a smartphone.

Thanks for sharing, interesting read. One question though, has the 41cv got a busy wait to compute expired time, like the hp 50g? If yes, how do you limit the battery usage?
