The only thing I've ever used the IR for is printing. Since the IR on the 50g is incompatible with the 48, I bought a serial port cable for my 50g to connect to the 48 cable, so I could transfer my 48 programs to my 50g.

And why would you need ancient DOS pc's? The massively used and often mentioned here FTDI serial to USB adapter works perfectly with any pc of today.
Today I'm getting my HP200LX out of the drawer too :-)

Actually, I have one of those USB-RS232 converters for my 48SX, and could never get it to work properly with my Win XP pc. It's a moot point anyway, since my HP 50g can do everything my HP 48SX could do plus much more, and do it a lot better. It even includes Apps from my HP 48SX Equation Library Card, such as the neat Periodic Table App, which is lacking from the new Prime.

You still haven't answered my question as to if you own a HP 50g, or are just bashing it because you are Sinophobic.
