I still prefer using a real calculator with physical keys, but I largely agree with your points. Nowadays I seldom carry a calculator with me because emulators on my phone are adequate for most purposes. I have two 50g's and both have slightly wonky keyboards and I don't want to carry them around and risk loss or damage since they are now rare and costly. EMU48 on my phone is 50 times as fast as the physical calculator, and Free42 has 34(?) digits of precision.

I also do most program development on the PC with EMU48 because typing is faster on a QWERTY keyboard. The phone emulators are probably the worst option for programming but fine for everyday calculations.

That being said, I still want a DM48.
