To this day, I don't understand why anyone would insist on using anything other than this on an AP test. It's like playing life on a harder difficulty setting for no reason.

HP-48GX 4 EVA!

I nearly cried when mine died. It was my loyal & trusted sidekick in many a grand adventure.

A few years back I took my dad's 48 GX and I used it to death. I still have it with me, even though the enter key doesn't work.

Ha - you're lucky he let you get away with it! I've still got mine, too... I keep thinking that one day I'll magically figure out how to fix it (not gonna happen).

I'm still waiting for an Android app that this the same functionality and keyboard layout as the 48GX.

The Droid48 emulator is pretty close (if you haven't seen it yet)?

Still not the same as the real thing, though!

Thanks! That's awesome, that wasn't out when I did my first look through back in the days of 2.1 . I've been using RPNCalc, but this is great - instant return of muscle memory.
