Re: Most usable keystroke calculator? Message #10 Posted by Ed Wright on 4 Jan 2012, 8:53 p.m., in response to message #1 by Sid Cave
I'm sure 10 people will have 11 different opinions. My favorite is Free42 by Thomas Okken. I use it on my PC and Android phone - it's available for many platforms (Windows, Linux, iPhone, WM, Palm, Android, etc.) which is a big plus. The HP-42S has many functions buried in menus, but it allows you to create a custom menu of six functions and have them available on the bottom line of the display, so they're available just as if they were unshifted keyboard functions. If you need more than six functions in addition to what's native on the keyboard, you're back to multiple keystrokes navigating menus, but for me it's the best calculator and simulator out there. Oh, and the simulator is, as the name suggests, free.
