====== Thu 01/08/24 : DM41X ======
**Calculators**
I've had the DM41X homage/clone of the HP41CX for a few years now, and after an initial period where I learned //some// of its features and explored a some //plugin modules// I found it a little cumbersome with the frequent need to explicitly spell out XEQALPHA'F''A''C''T'ALPHA the function required. In the HP41 the keys can be //remapped// using the ''USER'' keyboard assignment, but there are only so many unused keys to play with.

I've recently been looking at it again, and (if I can get used to the classic 41 placement of the arithmetic keys '+' '-' 'x' 'รท' ) I'm planning a month or two only using the DM41X.
It's a remarkable device. The underlying HP41CX and modules are remarkable in their own rights, and various DM41X specific features extend the usability greatly e/g. 'CST' menu, with the ability to save and recall multiple 'CST' configurations means regularly used functions can be much easier to access - as well as one's own programs.
I love the DM42 and DM32, as well as the DM15L of course, but the DM41X is capturing my attention at the moment, so I'll have a trip down the '41 rabbit hole for a few weeks I think.
