In one of the issues of Hewlett-Packard Digest (maybe not the right name;
an HP house rag advertising their calculators), HP said that the HP-45
used ROMs four times as dense as the ones found in the HP-35.  So after
they'd cloned all the HP-35 code and put in the -45's extra stuff, they
still had a couple pages of memory left, and the famous HP-45 timer was
added strictly for hack value.
