HP Prime - worthy successor to HP-71B ?

[John Keith]

I still have the HP-71B that I bought new in 1984. It was a great machine for its time, but the Prime's larger display and more modern BASIC dialect make it much nicer to use. Not to mention that the Prime is about 1000 times faster! As said above it's really comparing apples to oranges since they were designed for different purposes.

I personally like "the complex, obfuscated, horrible RPL language" a lot more than BASIC, so I mainly use my HP 50 these days.
