The HP-85/86/87 couldn't either, neither could the HP9816/26/36 or the various versions of Pascal or Visual This/Visual That, etc. Except, of course, for RPL and other LISP-derived languages. Quote:They did 95% great things and a few % not that great. For instance, I will never forgive the <expletive> who decided the inclusion of that abomination called "CALC mode", which utterly wasted 5 Kb of the 64 Kb ROM which could've been put to much, much better use. Amen! They could at least have given us an RPN calculator mode. HP-41 compatible ideally, although I don't know if that would have fit into 5K. Thanks from me also for a fun and invigorating challenge, although mostly "above my pay grade". John |
