Has anyone noticed a couple of funnies with the new 130XE computer?

Namely:  self-test is still the same old 1200XL pattern.  For a computer
that never went over too well, it will be remembered fforever as the one that
generated the test pattern.

Secondly, altho they do not show up on the keys, you can generate both the
{ and } marks from the keyboard!  To get the { mark, use <CONTROL;> -- to
get the } use either <CONTROL2> or <CONTROL<> keys.  (I.e. CONTROL plus ; or 2
or < to get either a { or }.)  For some reason you have two choices to get the
} symbol.  Why they are not marked on the keyboard is anyone's guess.
