WP43S linked to computer?
I've only had my WP34S for a couple of days but I'm already reading all the WP43S threads!

I had an idea that I think would be very useful: in addition to its normal, stand-alone mode, you could use a low-power, slow link, like Bluetooth 4, to connect to a PC/Mac. This would allow the great UI of the calculator keys but add the ability to copy/paste the X register (maybe others?) between the calculator and the computer's clipboard. I would use this quite a lot!

This could obviously get fancier, including a GUI on the computer screen that matches the physical calculator and would allow typing on either. It could even extend the interface for a bigger screen (show more registers?) or more keys to get at functions with fewer menus and lists. Could be great for writing programs more quickly that would then run on the un-tethered calculator.

Could also be the mechanism / interface for flashing / updating / saving images.
