I think this isn't quite correct. The design principle behind the 34S has always been accuracy over code size over speed. That is how we managed to cramp so much functionality in such a limited device (I leave it to Walter to comment on the display ). In many cases, the simpler design of the original 30b firmware pays off in terms of execution speed. So it was a 30b program that won the HHC2011 RPN contest.

So it's better, faster *and* more accurate... :-) I've ordered a 30b already. And a few wp34s overlays. And the printed owners manual... And I must kill this bug asap.
