If so and you > have a 48 as well, how often do you use the PC rather than the 48 and > or the 48 over the PC? I use MathCAD and two other programs (called FunctionPlot and Graph3D). I usually use MathCAD when i'm writing up a lab that has tables and graphs in it. I use FunctionPlot for drawing a quick 2D graph when I want it on a big scale and might want a print out if it looks funny at certain points. Graph3D is used for (you guessed it) 3D plots of data, mostly, but some- times I plot equations this way too. Generally i'll go to my 48SX for solver stuff. I don't use it much for graphs (except in exams :) because of the relatively slow speed. +--------- | rob@ireta.wimsey.bc.ca | Rob Prior, President, Still Animation Logo Design +----------------------------------------------------------
