Wow, I wasn't aware that those originals were RPN calculators. Thought it was just the 35s models. I stand corrected. |

A couple months ago "RealCalc Plus" from Android Market was on sale for something like 25 cents (free version is more than good enough but the offer was too good to pass). I showed it to a fried, he installs it on a (big screen) Galaxy Note and then shows it to his wife. Wife thinks it's a calculator and start "hey, when you bought that?" |

I have a 42S app on my Nokia lumia and i had it on my desk, a collega thought it was a new calculator ;) The 35 is very usable but to say it has it all and th rest is window dressing ? I use the solve mode from my 15C and 35S very much. Things like last x too. Also the complex mode. Just found out about the HP50G, looks like a more user friendly 48. Nobody experience with the sharp pc-1500 or 1211 ? |

I mean sure it's powerful, but do you think yo make any sacrifices using one of those? --- End quote --- Oh no, no sacrifices.. at all. It may have a steep learning curve, but its a "mini windows OS". Drop down menus.So C is cut, V is paste etc.. It got "My documents", it even boots the OS if it have been out of battery! I have made a lot of ready "documents" that i need in my daily work. (I do electro acoustics's,lot of calculus, ordinary electronic work. Plus computer service and are part time studying for the moment quantum mechanics theory) Its just going to the folder and get the ready formulas/projects up and key in the figures. What is neat is that i can grab a line in a diagram/curve and drag it and it updates everything in the spreadsheet. Don't need to carry a laptop computer to do the calculations as before. (I`m in a wheelchair most of the day.) But it may not be the "cup of whisky" for everyone, but for my needs its just a wet dream come true. ;) But i also got a Casio fx-5800P. A fx-115MS and the bets of them the "Personal computer" CASIO FX-720P that has served me for over 30 years now .. |

That's a real usability feature! - Ken |
