I've had an HP 16C for a long while, and an HP 48G. Recently, I discovered newRPL and slammed that on an HP 39gs and HP40gs via eBay. Given how difficult it was to acquire those (and an HP 50g) at a reasonable cost, I bought an HP Prime G2 in anticipation of a port of newRPL to it, and to play around a bit with the python provided. I have to say, I'm a little disappointed at how (not) easy the python seems to be able to be used, and lack of obvious documentation. I had hoped that aspect would be useful enough to compensate for the diminished RPN experience as compared to my 48G (and now, newRPL) calculators. So I think the Prime G2 will sit in a drawer for some a future opportunity.. Meanwhile, as HP 50g devices seem difficult and expensive to source, I picked up a few used (used) HP 39gs devices from China that I'm expecting to arrive soon for spares and Christmas gifts for a few likeminded friends of mine. As a practical matter, these are all overkill for my modest needs, but the newRPL on 39gs/40gs user-experience approaches "close enough" to the 48G that I'm happy enough. Related project now is to co-opt some time on my wife's Cricut cutter to make some keyboard overlays... |
