 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.
