I've really appreciated the various reviews and discussion of the 48 here;
I plan on buying one pretty soon :-)  But, I was wondering: can anyone be
more specific about what capabilities the 48 has w/r/t fractions?  Will it
handle them on one line like the new units, or..?  What can you do with them?
Etc?

I have a 28S now, and the lack of fractions really bugs me :-)  (I haven't
bothered typing in the fractions code posted b/c I have no way to backup
the 28 and I get Memory Lost far too frequently...)

One thing about the 28S's case.. I dropped mine once, (when it was open),
and the battery door broke!  So now I have the battery door rubber-banded
and taped on, which is obviously a hassle.  I was kind of disappointed b/c
my 15C I could toss across the room and all that would happen is it might
get a dent in the metal on the face.  Is the 48 case flimsy too, or can
you drop kick the thing like me dad's 33e? :-)

Well, I remain an HP fan regardless :-)... once again, thanks for all of the
extremely helpful 48 (and 28 of course) info on this list!
