You know, a
big calculator that used Cherry keyswitches would just kick

Isn;'t that called an HP9830?
Nope. I wasn't implying a full size keyboard, just a keypad that used
full size keys. :)
HP46, or HP81, then I replaced a keyswithc on one for a fellow HPCC
member, and I am pretty sure I sued a Cherry keyswitch of the type I use
on my 9830). I susepct a 9805 is similar.
I don't want an adding machine - which essentially what those HP devices
are. I was envisioning a hybrid "old style" programmer's calculator that
used a huge keypad and a small LCD display of some kind. Think of the
HP-16C but with large keys on it.

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical
minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd
by the clean end.
