	_Fractalman_ I know what you mean, I am a 32s user (Small menory
version of 42s) I also find my old 32s easier to use, and faster than the
48sx I just upgraded to, of course my reasons for upgrading where, no where
near enough memory, Lack of an easy way to do matrices, need to back
up my programs ,and being able to always see the stack. I used the 32s on my
final yesterday more than my 48sx, I only used the sx for long complicated
calculations where I wanted to be able to see the stack. The 48sx is more
awkward to use than the 32s and I am a little disappointed but the matrix ops
on it more than make up for it for me....I use them alot.
