It's a great calculator. How about hpmuseum devote some space to it?

Usually, the museum only looks at calculators once they are discontinued and old enough. That's why it is a museum. :-)

The HP50g has been out about a year. Doesn't fit either category, so it's not in the museum proper.

Some people here discuss the 50g and RPL, but others don't like to do so for the reasons given above.

You can always try the usenet newsgroup comp.sys.hp48 for discussions about the 50g.

The museum doesn't even devote some space to the 48gx, though production was discontinued some years ago already. Look at this place in the museum and you'll find many calcs of the last 2 decades treated quite shortly. So I guess the 50g will have to queue there for years at least ;-)

            
Commemorating the Pioneer series

Hi, Walter (and Dave!) --

I'd say that a new, dedicated section for the Pioneer series is the foremost "missing content" that the MoHPC ought to have. However, one should remember that only volunteer labor is employed in the MoHPC. I'd be willing to prepare a few sections if guidelines and templates are provided. I also own at least one of every Pioneer-series model.

So do I (for scientific models only, strictly no business).
