No, I never liked the Xpander's design. It was worse than the 50G. -- Wayne Brown <fwbrown(a)bellsouth.net> (HPCC #1104) ??s ofereode, ?isses swa m?g. ("That passed away, this also can.")

From: Howard Owen on 27 Oct 2006 11:16 This machine certainly isn't my ideal. But someone, at long last, has taken advances in handheld devices over the past 10 years and applied them to a calculator. It remains to be seen how well the nspire does, but with TI's market penetration, it's likely to do well. If so, then this will be "the machine to beat," if anyone cares to try.

I never saw an actual Qonos prototype (if there was such a thing), but the CAD rendering on hpcalc.org didn't appeal to me. Here is my idea of an ideal calculator case design: (1) Black, with no other colors except clearly visible (but not "flashy") key legends; (2) Perfectly rectangular case, with all straight lines, sharp edges and corners, 90-degree angles, no curves whatsoever; (3) Small screen (not more than five or six lines); (4) All keys (including cursor keys) exactly the same size and shape, except the ENTER key, which takes up exactly the same amount of space as two of the other keys; (5) The same number of keys on each row (except the row with the ENTER key), and identical spacing on each row, so that the keys form a perfectly regular grid; (6) Construction should be solid, rugged, and heavy. In general, the more it looks and feels like a solid block of black marble, the better. Add RPN and a good CAS, and I'd pay up to about US $350 for it. No one makes a device exactly like that; but the more a calculator deviates from that ideal, the less I will like it. -- Wayne Brown <fwbrown(a)bellsouth.net> (HPCC #1104) ??s ofereode, ?isses swa m?g.
