I got a 48S on ebay for $35 or so and in my opinion
the 48 series is
great. I use it for all my engineering courses
(fastest calculations
in the class, everyone else has to fight those
stupid TI-89 things).
Although they look kinda nice, there's no reason to
have a 48-anything
unless you're going to use it, so just look for
used, known-to-work
calculators.
the 48 series is eminently expandable, as is the
newer 49G+ (takes cflash cards), and I suspect this is
why they're favored amongst certain trades. Arguably
the most supported HP model in history (don't beat me
up too much if I'm wrong). Yeah they built like tanks.
I actually owned one for a bit, can't remember which
model exactly, but returned it cuz it was a slippery
slope using one in certain math classes due to it's
ability to do symbolic math.
I just bloody want one. And I wanna a bloomin' new
one. I don't need an excuse. Nyeh.
