Some feedback on recovery mode:
To go into recovery mode, with the calculator already on, I had to press the Symb button first and only then the On button. That seems to contradict this link: http://www.hpprime.de/files/composite_fi...y_mode.pdf. I found that if I pressed the On button simultaneously with Symb, or even an instant before, it didn't go into recovery mode.

What i normally do is turn the calculator off, hold down SYMB, and then click the ON button. You can get into the recovery mode at any time this way - it doesn't need to be only on a full boot.
