It looks terrible...but I do very much like the "dashed-7" key. I would love it if HP adopted that convention as well.

TI listens to their markets. Students in France don't think in English. Having translated the keys (and later the messages, too) to French gives TI a considerable advantage in schools in France. They've learned their lesson some time ago: TI Collège

Hello all,

Original from Marcus v. Cube:
They've learned their lesson some time ago.

I've the impression HP only change the location of the market (china) and don't cultivate old market places like us or europe.

But it is true, we don't know how the future for hard coded and build calculators is and so maybe it is in educational areas a cheap solution as long as tablets are much more expensive.

Greetings

peaceglue
