48GX Erable etc ever to be updated /revised etc? - mr-scorpio - 09-25-2011 Hi there, Might we ever see an updated version of Erable or something similar (CAS48 perhaps) to refresh/renew the 48GX?
Or perhaps might there be someone out there creating a whole new CAS system for the 48 from scratch? Re: 48GX Erable etc ever to be updated /revised etc? - bill platt - 09-25-2011 Look up Raymond del Tondo's speed UI. I dont know about the CAS aspect but the UI he's the man...
Re: 48GX Erable etc ever to be updated /revised etc? - mr-scorpio - 09-25-2011 Yes, i've heard of that.
Still as i originally posted.. An updated & optimised CAS for the 48 would be great?
Re: 48GX Erable etc ever to be updated /revised etc? - Martin Pinckney - 09-25-2011 Like you, I wish for updates to the 48, but I am still stuck on the SX! Frankly, I doubt we will see much activity, even on the 48GX front, since these machines are so dated now. Just my opinion.
If HP releases an updated 50G, even I may bite on that one.
Re: 48GX Erable etc ever to be updated /revised etc? - mr-scorpio - 09-25-2011 "If HP releases an updated 50G, even I may bite on that one."
It's possibly overdue that they did.. Both Casio & TI have brought our machines with higher res screens, that are not only colour, but back lit as well. - But whilst complete in their capabilities, are aimed at the education market.
Re: 48GX Erable etc ever to be updated /revised etc? - Martin Pinckney - 09-25-2011 Based on the questions and comments from Mr. Wessman, I think HP has certainly considered backlit color, but perhaps has also dismissed it because of power factors.
Since "leaks" about a restyled 39gii with higher resolution screen appeared, I think it is likely that is the direction HP will go in - if they do anything at all regarding the 50g. Edited: 25 Sept 2011, 8:22 p.m.
Re: 48GX Erable etc ever to be updated /revised etc? - Raymond Del Tondo - 09-26-2011 The latest version of SpeedUI supports RainEQ, an extremely fast EquationWriter replacement.
Erable and Alg48 are math-oriented applications with more or less specialized UI (if at all).
I didn't follow the Erable development, but I think the Erable
And while we're at updates: I'm just preparing a new version of SpeedUI, with some bug fixes and optimisations.

Re: 48GX Erable etc ever to be updated /revised etc? - mr-scorpio - 09-26-2011 Hi Ray, Regarding CAS's ... Would you consider/be able to create a completely new CAS for the 48GX yourself, where your ability to create obviously excellent & efficient code would work well - Possibly some of the CAS logic could be taken from an existing system like CAS48 by Jaime Fernando Meza with his permission... (If still contactable, as his last version was in 2001) (CAS48: 10 years old. Erable: 13 years old)
My thinking is that a single packaged install that was the combination of Speed UI with a CAS, would be fantastic, tidy & efficient?
Re: 48GX Erable etc ever to be updated /revised etc? - Raymond Del Tondo - 09-27-2011 I wouldn't want to write a new CAS from scratch, since my interests are in other areas. Re: 48GX Erable etc ever to be updated /revised etc? - mr-scorpio - 09-27-2011 HI,
