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.
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.
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!).

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.
These were such great machines, so far ahead of their time. I had a 3a, and nothing has beaten the Agenda program on it. I think part of the reason it was so good was that it wasn't a touch screen and the keyboard control was so well thought out, especially tab to bring up a monthly calendar. And what modern calendar has a year view that is useful?
Had a quick look on Wikipedia - Germany spends $8011/capita versus $5493 in the UK, a 45.8% higher amount. Rather than suggest we pass our money through a profit-focussed middleman, like we do for car insurance, why don't we try matching our spending first?

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!
