I think the distinction I normally use is often called

pun on 'Key Per Function' meaning a calcultor has, say, a key labelled
'SIN', whereas on a computer you spell it out. Byt that definition the
HP41 is a calculator (although you _can_ spell out the function names if
you want to), the HP9830 most vertainly isn't.
so what does this make the Sinclair ZX-80, ZX-81 and Spectrum systems?
(I am not even sure you *could* type in the commands, I think you *had*
to press the appropriate function key).
