Why should the minus sign be on the right? There's no rule that says the numbers have to allign to the right side of the display. Why not allign them to the left? So instead of displaying -..1234 make it display -1234.. (the dots represent non lit tubes). On Tuesday, October

I found that single custom key caps are very expensive. Since I made only a few of these calculators, I ordered complete sets with 104 custom key caps (for an entire keyboard) at WASD. The problem with that, is that these keys have different shapes (row 1-4) and sizes. I you find a better
