Perhaps, but a lot of the data is to support graphical selections and the like. The essential and old part is the string I mentioned previously. This gives all the information for TZ correction to operate. It would simply need to be typed in to a settings box and consulted by relevant time/date output routines. I think putting that onus on an owner is fair, given as you say the rather frequent changes in national policies.

The connectivity kit could certainly encompass the setting update.

On the calendar functions front I'd like to see more. It would certainly come in handy for some science data work, especially in astronomy, as well as opening up diary/reminder features (why oh why doesn't the chip sound output connect to anything????).

I do think any emphasis on 'education' marketing is far too limiting. The company blurb describes the Prime as "The calculator you’ll want to hold on to". Until you leave school perhaps?
