So based on your experience, knowing that I have a
48SX and that I
like that build quality, it seems the latest model I should mess with
would probably be the 48GX?
THe HP49G certainly has a lower build quality than the 48 series (the
keyboard o nthe 49G os a rubber thing, a slight improvement on the
origianl Sinclair Spectrum...) but the firmware is much improced. The 49G
does a lot more symbolically, it has 'big integers' (it'll calculate 100!
and display al lthe digits), it has symbolic vectors and matrices and so on.
I don't own a 50G. It should do all the above and more, though, and the
keyboard (from the one's I've used at HPCC is a lot nicer than the 49G
keyboard.
Does the 50G allow you to transfer ojects using kermit over the
asynchronous serial port? I've never managed to get an answer to that
question...
