That  multi-meter  stand would  have  looked  a  lot better if it was in light  blue  , the  same   color   as the  GW  meter  Also that would be real  nice
as a  accessory  item   if you sold  it along  side with the   multi-meter .

Go to the video turn on closed captions and read what Sagan apparently says I’m the first 30 seconds or so

Looks like that calculator was a rush attempt to hack something new from the existing design. Got the existing board designs from the previous model, slapped a clumsy cable to connect a display from a different vendor. Attached the IR interface and battery on the separate boards form factor adapter boards. Ready to ship.

After all, the customers aren't expected to see all that mess inside.

That's just the software not coping with an Australian accent. It struggles on 'The Signal Path' as well because Sharier talks too fast.
