Have people noticed that the 48 tends to draw a lot of power from its
batteries? It seems to run them down pretty quickly. Also, what is really
intelligent is that it keeps on a little symbol telling you, "I am draining
the batteries to warn you that the batteries have been drained!"

Anyhow, I would really have appreciated a power socket thingy on the 48 so
I could just plug in a transformer when I use it near a power outlet
(which is about 99% of the time). If anybody at HP is listening, how about
considering it for future calculators?
