I'm pretty pleased with my HP 50G, although the physical packaging
(case design, keys) don't quite hold up to the older calculators.
Still, it's quite powerful and has a much better keypad than TI
calculators (except for the arrow keys, which are terrible).

Or is HP on
its way to becoming a software company? ?or down the tubes?
IMHO HP _went_ down the tubes over 10 years ago when the test equipment
became 'Agilent' (Note, I am not saying that Agilent went down the tubes...)
It saddens me that a company who used to be known for making some of the
best measuring insturments around are now known for cheap printers and
scanners. And that they once made the best pocket calculators, now many
of their calculators are just badge-engineered models.
