Yeah, but what about all of the niceties for the 48 that have been put onto
cards (Equation Library, Chem Library..etc.)? I feel it is all this software
that makes the 48 really useful, and am not convinced that this calculator
should be worth much more (if any) than a 28S if these things are not
available. Just my $.02
