HP 19C versus HP 95C

[Cosmo]

Just a comment. I had a look some time ago at the Owner Handbook for HP19C/HP 29C and I was astonished by the following characteristics: 98 programming steps and 30 registers (16 are constant and the remaining 14 volatile). Why so many registers ? The ratio steps/registers seems not very well balanced. Which program requires so may registers and 98 steps ? If you do compare with the HP 95C - 200 steps and 17 registers - the two models are not that much different (including the printer) but the programming capabilities of the HP 95C are more convincing. In my opinion it would have been fine to convert the extra 14 registers (despite volatile) into extra programming steps. I wonder is some of you share the same feeling or do have an explanation for this unusual feature. Thanks indeed.
