Japanese people take their calculators very seriously

Ouch, that's the worst. Can't believe they still don't ask confirmation or anything before deleting something like the 89 (or gave it a different key that's not as easy to hit by accident).
Yeah, the order on the 89 took some getting used to, I think, but I got used to that just like I got used to the wacky order of keys on the QWERTY (and later Dvorak) keyboard layouts. :P

Nope, here we use good old azerty. Sometimes I wonder for which kind of layout vim is done for...

Calcs use ABCDEF, else they would be banned in most US exams.

Probably because it would be considered a full computer or something.

In France, calculators with feull keyboards are forbidden. Why? I don't know as the Ti and Casio still have enough keys/variables to type the whole 26 characters. It's probably to block using them as cheating devices (it'd easier to type on a Voyager 200/Ti-92 than a Casio but that's a stupid reason as I am quite fast to type on my G35+)

That's indeed a stupid reason. I don't even know about qwerty calculators here in The Netherlands

qwerty calculators are forbidden in NL as well for the same reason. Laws are weird.
ceci n'est pas une signature

I will need to check again about why they are banned. It seems weird that they would sell calculators that are almost banned in tests worldwide and every test to begin with. IIRC it's really the fact it's seen as a PDA and small computer that makes the QWERTY keypad a problem, though.
