RE: A little survey
The WP34S manual is a very useful and necessary guide for a complex calculator. It is obviously made with the intention of perfection. But there are some improvements possible, which come into my mind. Perhaps only for my taste.

1.) The cover and page 1 shows the calculator cut in half. I dont like this image, I expect the complete calculator would give a better first impression.
2.) I like a table overview of all buttons and their printed functions right at the beginning before the first chapter, because the user wants to know the visible button functions at once.
3.) The explanation of button groups page 21-24 shows only the thoughts of the designers, old HP engineers did not mention their thoughts behind everything.
4.) The colors for the stack registers from signal green to yellow to signal red suggests to me the wrong association of: green is ok and red is alarm, especially on pages 36,37. I think a less aggressive color scheme or same color for all registers would be better.

My great respect for this comprehensive manual.

That's one small step for a man - one giant leap for mankind.
