Question: Is the "Z" going to stay on the "/" key?

Jean-Yves was referring to the large (340x753) picture that was posted on
hpcalc.com before Sam posted the photos from OpenHP. (try
http://hpwww.ec-lyon.fr/hpserv/hewpack/hpcalc/actu/jpo99/jpo99.html for the
exact picture he is referring to.)

Again, he is referring to a different picture. I assume that the photos
from OpenHP are correct, unlike the one I referred to above.

Although, comparing the (admitedly lower quality) photos from Sam to the
high-res one from hpcalc.com, I can't see any buttons that are different.

I seriously hope not . . .

<right shift> <Z> prints a "/" in alpha mode. I agree it is not very
convenient, but it's not worse than on the 48 where you can't use the
arrow keys in alpha mode ...

The large picture on hpcalc.com and the ones taken by an attender at
OPenHP are not significantly different enough for J-Y to waste bandwidth
disputing.
They are both the same calc to some immensely large degree (so much so
that I haven't noticed a difference yet).
Surely they are enough alike not to matter in the face of all of these
criticisms? I think that's very minor.
