current 50g displays

Unless you have a very good deal, why don't you consider a Prime instead?

Thanks for the info.

Actually, I have a Prime and it's a very good calculator. I would definitely recommend it to my math students over a 50g. But for my own use, I find that I'm more efficient on the 50g for general calculations. (Can't beat the Prime for graphing though.) I've got years worth of custom menus and custom key assignments (click, double click, long hold, shift long hold, shift double-click, ...) that I'd really miss if my 50g died. (I've already performed three "surgeries" on it to keep it going.)

For my physics students, I'd recommend the Prime even more if it could natively display vectors in polar, cylindrical, and spherical coordinates like the 50g does (and like the Prime does for complex numbers with the Shift-X key --- that's really nice).

I just figured that with the current prices and uncertain future availability, now is the time to get that backup 50g.
