Does your HP-80 also have the LED fluttering with the square root and x^y functions, while the HP-35 does not? An emulator I have for the HP-80 has the fluttering for those functions, as well as the financial functions. I think it's kind of fun.

You're correct, the HP35 doesn't 'flutter' and the HP80 does. And one has x^y, and the other is y^x (don't make me go look as to which is which)


My HP25, as I recall, fluttered too.


Fun watching them thrash their way thru the code, ain't it ?
