Thank you very much. Another jewel for my prime. It´s the best program for moments of inertia I´ve ever seen.

Hello Edwin,
Your interfaces are very very nice!
I used for a while the structural analysis module in the hp41 to do some calculation on some hollow profiles. It is clearly visible the huge evolution in computing.

Thanks

If I wanted to reduce sales of HP-Prime, I would take this video for advertising.

That seems unnecessarily harsh with no substantiation. Perhaps you could explain why?

Also, it seems unlikely to me that a potential customer wondering if they should buy a Prime might choose an advanced topic like this, from a user (and not from HP) as a source of information to help make a buying choice.

I think it's a pretty interesting application, that uses many of the unique and best features of the Prime; my only disappointment is I wish the manual was in English.

I´m also interested to know the reasons of why this video would reduce the sales of the Prime.

Operating with the emulator (especially in landscape orientation) looks more dynamic and comfortable than on a physical HP-Prime. I even thought about buying a suitable phablet or netbook for such an emulator, but not of buying a calculator.

That's why 1i think the next HP Prime should be a wallet model.
Exactly the 2/3 of the current model is the perfect keyboard.
Keep it!
Then cut and move the display to the left side (the top 1/3)
and finally double the size of the display on the left so that it exactly matches the kb.
Make the display as thin as possible
Let the display close as a wallet or lid over the kb on the left and power off the calculator.
Remember the pogo pins behind the calculator - for expansion.
The keyboard needs an overlay - just like the HP-41 C (or HP-71B)
I like the old HP-28C/HP-18C design
Replace the left side A...Z with a double height LCD.
