Hello,
From my point of view, we should be happy with the new HP 49G+ (if everything is true).
Consider this:
* Five to ten times quicker than the old HP 49G. Come on, be honest: how many of you would have killed to get this much? 100 %
* An USB port. This is a high speed standard connection, isn't it?
* A sd Card expansion. We can buy a (hopefully) standard SD Card and have 32 Mb to keep data and programs. The HP 48GX could only hold up to a 4Mb card (if you could find one) That is 8 (or 16 or more) times more memory. So what?
The biggest complaint is the keyboard (no big ENTER key), plastic and other minor things. I guess most of us are in love with the machine we studied with, and cannot accept easily something with a new design without comparing. This only means we are getting OLD!
Let us accept these new machines as they come and see if they really work (calculate!) fine.
