Euler Identity in Home

[ColinJDenman]

These older calculator results are essentially what I was expecting to see. If a 30/40 year old non CAS non Exact calculator can display the goods, why do you not expect the same from a 400Mhz ARM with 32MB of RAM?

I was tempted to ask for a poll of old HPs on the general forum, asking for the calculation of sin(pi) in radians with max Sci format display. On real hardware, since I don't know how the various emulators work.

Plain and simple truth (to me): I expect better, not worse after 30 years. And no amout of telling me to use CAS or the limits of BCD (which isn't limited in the way that IEEE floats are) is likely to change my mind.

I'm just a grumpy old man, reminiscing about non existent golden ages, ignore me.
