Key pressing slows down program execution?

Hello,

"Why would HP use an OS over which they have no control? Seems risky to me."

As you know, the Prime is manufactured by a 3rd party company called Besta.

Besta is more known for a then typical asian products "digital dictionaries/translators". And this is where Prime HW and OS originated.

What we did was put HP "calcualtor" application on top of a modified Besta dictionary and OS.

Doing so saves a lot of time as you reuse existing/working HW and SW.

So, here is the answer to the why.
