It would probably be better for everyone if we learned to do math/science with the slide rule instead of a super powered HP graphing calculator. I kept my HP48GX from a sophomore in HS through university. I can’t even use a regular calculator efficiently because I’m hardwired to use the stack and RPN’s order of operation. When the 48 gave up the ghost, I bought the new primo one when I went back to school for PhD… mainly for basic calculations. I have the non graphical scientific HP calculator, but I like seeing the stack on the screen

- ghaff 5y agoI still have a few of the horizontal format HPs but my 41CV died. The Swiss Micros are really tempting but I realize they'd be an utter extravagance for someone who uses the HP-41CX emulator on my iPhone to add and multiply numbers now and then.
- kurupt213 5y agoI finally took an instrument design course and am fairly confident I can restore life to the 48GX when I open it up. And my Panasonic plasma that’s been dead for 3 years. I will hear that hum again!
