First Month with 50g

I purchased one for a hobby (I never had seen RPL before) and a very few manual calculations (price calculations most of the time...) at work. When things become serious, most people would switch on Excel and myself on C++.
Anything I do on the 50g is good fun but terribly inefficient. For my day to day work, a 35S is actually the best option, not the 50G. So I would be interested in some feedback from users regarding their professional use of the calculator (anything not related to education).

Is the 48G use also valid for this poll? :-P

Working in meidum/high voltage, complex numers are a must. When I was at Engineering School i first used a Casio with no complex numbers support; it meant that calculation time could easily be twice as much... I tried a 32Sii for some weeks, but its complex support s far from perfect, and doing constant rec/pol conversions didn't improve speed much... so I got a 48G, and it has been my trusted tool since then. I didn't bother to test the 35S (whose complex capabilities should be closer to 48G than to 32Sii) and in case my 48 dies, I'll go, for sure, for a 50G (maybe I should get one now, just in case).

Obviously, when working on the desk, I use a computer software, but for "on the fly" calculations, the 48G sees almost daily use.
