IMHO, the 48S/SX, along with all the Pioneers, is best characterized as "orange on fecal brown". Barf!!! However, there is one machine, the yet unmatched after 26 years HP 42S, which is so outstanding that it overcomes its ugly keyboard, poor LCD contrast, and un-ergonomic location of the ENTER key on the opposite side from the /,*,+,- key column.

I've only released one calculator since 1972. A trade actually. In 1978 I traded a brand new TI-58 for an old HP-35...red dot...though I did not realize 36 years ago the red dot significance. I think it was probably a good trade!

My ultimate HP hate machine is the HP 38G. There's absolutely nothing good about that dog.
