RE: Happy Birthday Charlemagne
Hello!

28 years is not soooo long isn't it (btw. March 6 is an important date between me and my wife but some years before the HP-48 SX :-) ).
What a pity HP didn't have a decent supplier for LC displays then. What a wonderful calculator this could have been with a readable display and a processor fast enough for the software they implemented... and a durable connection between the display and the PCB. And BASIC instead of RPL of course.

Sorry to spoil the party but I really think the HP-48 is one of the main reasons why HP lost their most important market, education, to Ti and Casio. I have one in my collection but there is absolutely nothing I like about it.
