RE: Apps for the prime.
I didn't mean to get into a Prime vs. 50g thread since there are already enough of those.

All I meant was if RPN is a priority, perhaps the 50g would be more suitable. Please be aware neither the Prime nor the 50g use keystroke programming. The 50g uses HP's RPL programming language which is based on and an evolution of RPN. The Prime uses a special Pascal-like programming language.

None of the 42S code will port straight across, and there will be a significant learning curve with either machine. Still, at the end of the day, the 50g is much more similar to the 42S than the Prime is. All the RPN concepts and much of the way you use it will map to the 50g fairly well. You will be able to use it instantly for calculations; only the programming and new functions will require some quality time with the doc.

It ain't OVER 'till it's 2 PICK
