I admire people being able to calculate Cy,x manually at Friday late afternoon. Then I suggest dropping % and x² first.

Quote:If the goal is a calc that's "easier for the masses" then I'd consider fixing the number of stack levels. Although 4 is traditional, maybe 8 would be better since you can always use FILL to get the handy "replicate the top level" behavior.

Agree on that (please see my earlier post). Just feared the outcry of the traditionalists.

Quote:Another thing to consider for cleaning up the appearance is a single MENU key that would lead to the STAT, MODE, CONST, DISPL, CLEAR and MORE menus. More keystrokes but clean and easy.

Would it be useful to have a CAT key to get the full catalog?

Personally, I think programmability is important. Even if you're just entering simple formulas. So my preference would be one MENU key, keep programmability, add a PROG menu (under the MENU key) and put the bare minimum programming keys on the keyboard ...

"... lift off ... we have lift off ...!" Are you still aware we're talking about a 30b-based calc with that ... display? Christmas is over. No softkeys, no menu structure ... Good grief
