RE: HP calcs are really not that accurate..
So, I've come to the conclusion that 34 significant digits should be OK.

My just arrived and unboxed DM42 were given the SQRT2 "torture test" with 10 SQRT's and squared back.
Display showing "2" as answer, though doing a "2 -" command resulted in "-2,8E-32.
I'm happy with that, and my Asperger/ADD have got peace of mind Smile
