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 XEQALPHAFACTALPHA 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 ÷ ) 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.
