Rather Rude if You Ask Me

[toml_12953]

I just got an HP-71 and, in order to turn it off, you have to press the yellow f key then press Off.

In other words, you have to tell your machine to f-Off.

That's rather rude, if you ask me!

Very true! Never thought about it that way before, but will going forward.

Holy cow.

It's all so much clearer now! Suddenly realized I must have yellow 'f' and Off keys. Can't believe I never noticed before!

The WP34S team was more considerate, using the h-plane to gently put the calc to sleep!

On your HP machine? Or do you mean on yourself, personally?

I've looked at my back in the mirror and can't quite confirm my own suspicions regarding myself...
