After the 49G comes out, the price on a 48GX should go down a bit. Splurge on a ramcard (I have a 4meg one. That's right: four megabytes of memory in my calculator. It cost me a couple hundred deutchmarks plus shipping to the us). It really makes all the difference. Symbolic algebra (ALG48) and calculus (ERABLE), not to mention the billion other useful programs you can drop into it. And if you're hoping to do physics or engineering, don't go with anything less than an HP. Once you go reverse polish, there's no turning back. Once you use an infinite level stack, there's no going back. For software, check out hpcalc.org. There are several chess clocks here. Don't even get me started on the number of games for this thing (zelda, dune, civilization...). And if nothing else, comp.sci.hp48 has much more eloquent discussion than you'll find in any of the ti groups.
