Re: calculator again

Hello Dr. Nemeth and All,

I would like to make a couple of suggestions about the scientific
calculator. In regard to graphing, I don't think to failure to have a
graphing tool in Braille is a good reason to hold up the calculator, but
a free upgrade for that driver should be provided. It would seem that
the driver approach, such as used by Duxbury or MegaDots, might be
appropriate. We could have a driver for the Romeo and The Verspointm as
well as a Microbraille driver.

I want to say again, as I think I said before, I think our horizons can
be broadened on the calculator. Rather than having a scientific
calculator only, we can have a scientific all-purpose calculator with
scienific and business functions. I would like to see loan amortiation
as a function. I would like to see it such that one could enter the
amount, percentage rate, and length and receive the payment per month.
