They are putting the math operators on the left (like the older HP machines), but using the top-to-bottom order (like the newer HP machines). That’s a pity… we don’t need a third convention. Each of the two HP keyboard layouts has its own merit but mixing the two in a different one is just adding confusion IMHO. Btw, the second layout with the operators on the right was used by HP as early as 1973 with the HP-46. |
