...how 'bout a software solution: give us the option under "MODES" to select use of a digit position for display a big, fat 4-pixel radix point.

Paul, the above sounds like a great idea. Unfortunately, I presume such a change would require changes to the ROM and other deep internal workings of the calculator. While they're at it, how about giving us two letter labels and variables, and maybe an R + j X format for complex number display, and oh, maybe fixing the bugs? Sort of a slippery slope in which HP appears to have no interest. The radix/comma size problem could be "fixed" by a slight redesign of that particular part. I don't know how difficult it is to produce liquid crystal displays and/or change the design of an existing part, but I guess we should be glad that HP at least went to the trouble to make this one small improvement.
