DM 42

[jch]

Just got mine today at 13:00,

SN: 00050 and with a nice gift, a spare "SwissMicros MP42" glass.

About Keyboard stiffness, yes, somewhat stiffer than the original ones but I don't mind, except, maybe, the "ENTER" key wich requires a strong press.

The silkscreen for the shifted keys seems a bit faded out for the three upper rows, though it's still readable, even for my aging eyes.

The display is really impressive, high resolution and very good readability.

I had to use a paper clip to reset my DM42 after I tried to create a 100 x 100 matrix.
That yields to a 'Malloc Error' and I had to reset the calculator. I first tried a gentle pressure, but it requires a firm one.
That seemed to stress the battery, the voltage dropped from 3.04 V to 3.01 V but it is recovering right now (3.03 V).

It is my first SwissMicro device and despite some teething defaults (it's a Beta release after all), I'm very happy with this calc.

Many thanks to Michael, SwissMicro and Thomas!

C'est une chouette calculatrice ! (SCNR)
