Welcome to the Forum Mark, thanks for posting.

You will enjoy the 50g, it is truly an amazing machine. Suggest you also get a 2GB SD card; you can write (or use existing) simple backup programs to instantly save you state info. As you explore RPL and in particular SysRPL, you will find you will likely crash the machine, but in a few keystrokes, you are right back where you were.

You definitely should check out Eric Rechlin's website http://www.hpcalc.org, it is the place for RPL tools, docs, programs and info. Eric also sells machines, cables and accessories; check them out.

And you are right, you will really Enjoy Bill Wickes' books. They are 48G focused, so won't cover all the 50g features by far, but they will teach you a deeper understanding of RPL and some subtle techniques for writing a wide variety of RPL from advanced math to system programming.

You're in the right place, and I encourage you to participate in the discussions as you will certainly get more out of them.

Bob,

Thank you for the warm welcome. When I ordered the 50g from Amazon, their message popped up 'customers who bought this also bought: Transend 2Gb SD card'. This was just the right prompting. I searched that site for a SanDisk of that capacity, but did not find one so ordered the Transend.

I have been looking at Eric's site and have downloaded some programs I want to try when I get the English 50g.

I'm looking forward to playing with RPL. Seems to me that it allows both keystroke style programming as well as representing algebraic expressions intact between the single quotes.

Mark
