but how many of us like pocket sized machines?
HP 41C?
I spend a lot of money to by the then current HP48SX when I was in
school. An expense that I never will regret. Some time ago I got a
HP41CV with card reader, printer and TV modulator. What a wonderful
machine. I love it. 20 years old, heavily used by the previous owner and
still well working.
When I saw the HP49 for the first time I was shocked. A cheap plastic
thing with rubber keyboard that looks like a TV remote control.
