Base Conversion & Logical Operations: Prime vs. 28S/28GX/50g on EASE OF USE

[JDW]

Aha! So the bracket that’s rotated 90° to the right is space! Hidden in plain sight! Thank you!

I still don’t understand why HP put a priority on base conversions on older calculators seeing that those calculators were targeted at students too. Why the change? Do students today no longer need the features that students of yesteryear needed? It seems strange to me.

Anyway, thank you for kindly sharing your thoughts about my video.

And I have an answer to your quest for the space key (@7:00 in the video): it’s just at the same location as on the 48/50 units, between the dot and the plus keys ! It’s just not labelled SPC which is a very English abbreviation but use the more international ␣ symbol.
