In actual fact with RPL you still have to think in RPN fashion just like programming a 42S.
You are interacting with the stack in RPN fashion - it just doesn't have line numbers.

However it has the added advantage of a stack depth limited only by memory, some additional programming functions (e.g. WHILE loop) and tons of additional functions. Not to mention RAM, SD card and PC connectivity.

how would you compare the 50g to the Prime? Other than obvious things like color screen, icons, etc. I've just added a Prime to my wish list and I think my wife will probably get it for me for Xmas. Not that I need another calculator - HP-35, HP-45, HP-65, HP-67, HP-80, 15C, 16C, 32S, 42S and just bought but not yet arrived a couple of Swiss Micros models. Yeah, I'm a calcaholic.
