Hello.
After hearing so much good things about the 41's and their successor the 42S, I started to look for it. I have a 48GX and a 49G, but I wanted a more compact, pocket-sized calculator for number crunching at the office. First I look at Ebay but I get scared of the non-sense prices that some people seem to pay there. Then I went to a big department store: "El Corte Ingles", in fact the biggest chain of department stores here in Spain. I had noticed before that they don't sell a lot of calculators, so probably their stock could be outdated. And voila! a fresh new HP 42S was there with 50% discount almost hidden in the showcase, totally forgotten. I bought it and I am very happy with it. Seems just what I was looking for.
At the same day I went to a stationery store and I found a new, still in the box HP 41CX for 130 US Dollars. What do you think of the price?. I am starting to think about become a collector :)
Thanks in advance
Ignacio
