WP 34s Complex operation
Out of curiosity, I was wondering why the 34s requires typing in the imaginary portion of the complex number 1st. (Now that I have that down, I'm used to it, and I'm not getting confused.) I like the simultaneous view of the real part and the imaginary part now offered!

I like the HP 15C's methodology...it is simpler, and I don't have to worry about going in and out of complex mode while working with complex numbers. On the 34s, simple operations such as raising a complex number to a real power, or multiplying by a real number requires typing in both the imaginary part (which would be zero) and then the real part before tapping the complex key and performing the operation.

In any case, the WP 34s is quite a shirt pocket tool!
