RE: Poll: Landscape or Portrait?
I have a visceral revulsion towards the landscape style.
I remember ordering my HP71 and was really eager to get it, but actually having it was a significant letdown. Till coming here, I wasn't really sure why I didn't like my 71, it has the 41 translator, extra memory, and the IL module, but I never had that 'damn this is slick' feeling from using it that I did with my HP41CV, and it's follow on HP41CX. (BTW, I'm sure I could have fixed my CV with what I know now about lose screws and intermittent zebra connectors, damn me for getting rid of it!) I've amassed quite a collection of HP machines now, and except for the 71 and the 75 I bought back in the 80s, I have no landscape machines. Now, how would I feel about the Swiss Micros units? Idunno. I suspect as a novelty, it would be like the 71, cool for a week, and then relegated to the display case, or maybe even the bottom desk drawer. The Go41 app is portrait, and I am really enjoying having a CX (and a 67) hidden in my phone and with me at all times. And since I have a $24 cell phone, no anxiety if I drop it in water. (my head would explode if something happened to flagship) Not sure why I hate the landscape format so much, I just do. 2speed HP41CX,int2XMEM+ZEN, HPIL+DEVEL, HPIL+X/IO, I/R, 82143, 82163, 82162 -25,35,45,55,65,67,70,80 |
