Nobody has said anything about the difference in the number of key presses
for certain often used functions.  1/x, square root of x, sin, cos, tan,
y^x, and swap all required two key presses on the 28 and only 1 on the 48.

This tells me that some thought went into the design of the 48.  (And not
just thought about what wonderful functions can be crammed into one 
calculator.)

I just wanted the people at HP to know that I appreciated these seemingly
minor changes as well as the other more major changes between the two 
calculators.
