Well, I 've been using a 28S for a long time, and reading the news for
nearly as long, but I've only just started subscribing to this group. I
think the name is why I missed it:-(

A few questions. On the 28S, can you get the numerical values for the units,
or can you only use units for conversion. i.e. can I put 'c' on the stack,
then convert it to 299792458m/s?

What are the advantages of the 48SX? The only shop that does them around
here has a demo card in their 48, and you cannot bypass it. Plus they want a
cool 473 pounds for it (approx $900):-(

Will the 48 ever appear in the 28S style case? I much prefer the 28S case,
as the keys are not so crampt, and it affords better protection to the
display (my 28 is carried in a tool kit).
