- Rev J Update:
-
- EduCALC just got a shipment of HP48's yesterday, and there were seven
- REV J's in the bunch. The Rev E that was in the showroom as the demo
- unit was instantly replaced with a Rev J; the other Rev J's were
- immediately shipped and are all gone now. More are expected in two
- weeks.
-
- Two knows differences in Rev J:
-
- (1) The "delete" code (backarrow) in the EquationWriter is **MUCH**
- faster, like 5 to 10 times faster. It doesn't blank the screen.
-
- (2) The graphics environment cursor has been "cleaned up and is much
- more visible". (?)
-
- All of the above is from a message from Richard Nelson on my answering
- machine. Tomorrow I'll drive down there and play with it, and write
- up what I find.
-
- Who will be the first person to extract the Rev J's EquationWriter
- improvements and create an EQWJ.LIB as a Rev E "upgrade"?
