I used the mouse for all my input because I have a "mini" keyboard hooked up to my laptop. I will try later with keyboard equivalents. I used a 67 for years in the 70s and gave it away to a college kid when I no longer needed it. Then a few years ago I bought one from eBay and it brought back all the good memories (no pun intended). I resold that and now I have this Mac version to try. No mag cards, though. There used to be a club of 67 users and someone figured out how to create "non-normalized numbers," which could only be saved on mag cards. The club had a lively trade in these cards. One of the cards would cause the words C0Co C01o scroll across the display (the "o" was squared off so it looked like a lower case "a" and the effect was "coca cola" on the display.
One wish list hint: make the calculator look like a 67, complete with the place for the mag card. Then let users create a collection of virtual mag cards that could be "run through" and then slipped into the card window.
Thanks!

- You can view and edit all registers and memory in easy-to-access text windows in addition to using the calculator keyboard and display.
- You can use the computer keypad for the common calculator functions (number entry, add, subtract, multiply, divide) or, of course, the mouse.
- It saves memory registers, programs and the complete calculator state to files for archiving projects. It has a nice "paper tape" simulator that doubles as a program listing window. Everything is very elegantly executed using Cocoa.
There's not much documentation, but if you have ever used one of these RPN programmables, you won't need any. And if you haven't used one, you probably won't be interested in this anyway. It just works (and has a nice mouse-over pup-up descriptions for all function keys and key combinations). And, the author has been very responsive to questions.
Really, this is a must have for you HP-RPN programmable lovers out there...
