> my G which has annoying buttons One thing I've always liked about those calculators is the fact they actually injection molded the keys with two colors of plastic... one for the body of the key and another for the marking. There's essentially no way to wear off the label, since it is intrinsically built into the key itself. They stopped doing that with the 49 and follow-ons, and I don't think the new HP11 does it either. Arguably, the original was overengineering, but there's a reason these things are still worth as much as they are today.
