4-banger?
Hey

As a former embedded designer and programmer, I love the concept and execution of the WP 34s -- great work!

While I've got two 30b's on the way, on one I'm thinking of noodling around to make a simplified version of the 34s just for the sake of fun and learning.

The way I use a calculator is as a quick way to do arithmetic. I like being able to grab an RPN calc and run through some numbers for immediate use for whatever I'm doing. To that end, I love having a very simple and uncluttered keypad. A great calc for me would be a 34s dumbed down to remove the statistics and programming functions, items that I never use. This would greatly clean up the keypad.

I've used programming a few times for academic items way back when (dare I say it... back when I was using TIs in college), but in the work world, I have never had a real need for it. Anything that I ever had a need to do repetitively (in an R&D lab or on the plant floor) has always been easier to on a laptop in excel or whatever. Plus, documentation of your work is way easier from a laptop.

I've seen the term '4-banger' used here and there, but it doesn't come up much on a search here, and I don't really know what that is! Is that what I want? Maybe I'll have to look in the archive.
