I completely disagree. By having *all* available memory shared between program and data, it allows the user to choose which is more important for a specific task. If I need few or no variable memories for a task but need all of the memory space available in the machine for program steps, I can choose that option. I thought this was a brilliant feature when I first encountered it on the HP-11C that I bought in 1986. In the Casio examples you give, Casio simply choose to permanently reserve some of the available memory for variables, thus preventing the user from choosing to use them for program steps. I would rather have the option to use them as I choose. |
