this early, is it? ALL products come with a few bugs in the first
version - if you want it NOW, you have to live with it. VERY FEW
readers here have a 48 so far, and you can hardly expect HP to say
"don't buy our product folks", now can you? In fact the HP48SX has been
exceptionally well tested, and the only serious bug reported so far is
that inversion of large matrices (over 7x7 I believe) with the INV (1/x)
key gives the wrong result. Even that is not a serious problem, since
you can do a division instead. There are a few silly mistakes in the
manuals, but they are obvious. I would say BUY IT NOW if you want it
now.
