I note that tigger specifically asked for useful keywords to search for, as he presumably had trouble with the keywords he'd selected. Heck, he even pointed us to the manual he'd tried to search in, which was one of the manuals we'd pointed him to. Perhaps Chapter references might be more useful in future, a la the reference to App. G.

Yes, we like to think we use the best calculators in the world. But at least from this corner, I personally find the fx9860gII easier to use, even though it's not as powerful. However, I'm persevering with the HP-50G, as I swore that some day I'd have something to make up for my HP-34C. And something to keep these braincells from rotting any faster than they have to.

TL;DR: let's stop slagging the guy off. He's got the message to look in the manuals. The best we can do is to be useful without the brickbats. And Bob, this is not meant to be addressed to you specifically, as I know you're a highly-respected member of these forums.
