RE: Prime second attempt
Quote:Prime's prime design (pun intended) is education (like the 38 on witch it is based), with narrow (or at least narrower) problems to work on (problems limited to one field), and used by learners, people who do NOT yet master a subject and needs some guidance in the way...

I swear that when I decided to buy the prime years ago it had been advertised as "for scientists, engineers and students". The argument that the calculator was targeted as for the educational marked is, well, kind of a lame excuse in my optinion.
That does not help much on the topic and the problems the dev-team is facing, BUT don't make it too easy for yourself.
Part, if not a major part has been the decision to merge different code-bases. Wouldn't you agree?
Second issue is that good first-hand information was missing from the beginning. The manual evolved for the better, but didactically it still could be better.

That does not mean that I do not like the prime. I still did not manage to get in-phase with it, but I keep on trying on a regular basis.

Keep working and maybe you'll find a way to lift the prime to the next level by fusing mutional exclusive parts.
RPN. Well I must admit you learn to live without it. Though I still like my real-calc on my android phone better than the prime for many tasks. (including base conversion)

Thanks for the work that has been done, but PLEASE do not only work on cosmetic changes for the classroom.
