I bougth the first HP49G I saw. The documentation was

OS), it was useable, but never really pleasant. I still use it, simply
because of the vast range of useful fucntions but...
The question is though why so many people got duped into buying an "updated"
model, with the same chip running at the same speed.
Other then that it's appearance bloody rocked. 2.5 megs of memory. Endlessly clearing
it's stack though.
At some point
I really want a 48cx. At that point I'll probably
consider my collection complete.
Waht is a 48CX? I know what a 41CX is -- I have a couple. I know what a
48SX is (I boguth the first one I saw...) and a 48GX (I was given one).
All of the mre nice machines.
I meant 41CX.
Everybody loves the 48G series I'm sure. But so slow...
But with thw G,G+,GX at least, you don't get duped. I used to have a G and.GX. 49G
had lots more memory though.
Maybe I'll just buy another 50g and be happy...
