I'd say it's kind of nice. Something very pleasing about having the two lines, but it is not more functional as a result. The constants/conversions are very nice and well-implemented. Think some people will find them useful for day to day stuff or at school.
Oh wow, the whole thread is just people suggesting alternatives!! OP - enjoy your neovim and don't listen to the rest. It's a terrific editor and will be around for many decades more.
I think I like the buttons and the highly-specialised functionality. At least that's what I think when people say 'what's the point, you have a far more powerful calculator in your pocket already'. Yes, one without buttons.
It is! Not mine sadly, but amazing to see such a thing. I didn't have much time so apologies for not stopping down enough - I didn't realise at the time!
Yes, looks like coated aluminium - not unlike a can but a little thicker and with no sharp edges. I've not seen these before but I think they are disposable/recyclable - i.e. a replacement for a plastic cup and far more pleasant to drink from. I took mine home as a souvenir, but I have had to unsquish it today taking it out of hold luggage.
Yes, in fact before I got my DM42 I had one holiday where we had no internet access in the evenings and as the children were small and slept early, I didn't have much to do but I was able to learn a lot about using and programming free42.

That thing holds it's place in computing history. Kinda the first pocket computer?
He really likes it. The titanium back has given a great looking engraving of his initials. Now just hoping he didn't lose it!
Respect for the 4 level stack!
Very nice! Was this a rebranding of another make or made by radioshack themselves?

Ah yes that's a pretty nice graphing calculator, also looks pretty good in pink!

Nice!
Really glad you enjoyed it!! It's a very very small niche of people I think.
Totally would love to work on an edge cases database! It is no secret (posted on swiss micros forum), but I can do a submission here if that works?
It's actually a really nice bit of software. Really nice range of functions.

You do have to remind yourself at the beginning that you're using RPN, but after a while it feels a bit like working sums out on paper.
Just to clarify - means two taps of the esc key in succession will clear highlighting (ps I'm curious how other people do it!).
nmap <esc><esc> :noh<return>Yes, I also have caps mapped to esc, but done in keyboard firmware so that holding it functions as ctrl.
In neovim I have two escapes mapped to :noh
I tried to play this on an original IBM PC. Without a mouse and only 4 colours. It went badly.
Yeah, I think they need to tune their nibs before they let them out. No such thing as too much flow - just too little paper.
I was too stupid to realise how hard they were to do right.
