That's what I'm doing too. The 50g is really nice, and surprisingly
fast with a lot of stuff that causes headaches when done manually. I
have a 48SX but seldom use it, because it is slow, and I don't like
the display. I've used TI graphing calculators. They're okay, I
suppose, but somehow seem unsophisticated, a bit dumbed down compared
to a good HP, and the lack of RPN is a serious impediment to routine
computations.
I wish HP would produce a good, small RPN scientific calculator. The
35S is a step in the right direction, but in some ways it seems a
little less convenient to use than some of their earlier calculators,
such as the magnificent 15C or 42S.
