Hey, I resemble that remark!
No you don't. You can, at least differentiate between various
uses (at least you seam to me like someone able to do so).
HP calculators are the only ones I use (I must have a
few 10's of them
now) _becasue_ they're the only ones that do things in a logical order
(namely a function is executed when you press the key, there are no hidden
pending operations).
Jup, they are great. And no, I didn't want to compare UPN
with MS, I just tried to find a single reason why MS is
doing the default quotation the way it does.
Gruss
