fed up with prime

[John P]

I bought HP 50 around 6 month ago. In general I am satisfied but sometimes frustrated which is understandable. I do not write very large programs but only what I need to do stuff mostly in CAS. IMHO many of the problems come from the 2 modes HP 50G operates with, HOME and CAS that use large and small capital letters respectively, and that the two modes are not transparent with each other. In general the idea of HP 50G is a good one but the two not compatible and transparent to each other modes necessarily make all of it too complicated to use and manage.

I do not blame the guys who work on the OS software. The problem is with the HP company itself and changes in long term polices. To make it short: the problem is in general with the management of the HP company not with the guys who work on OS for the HP 50G. HP is not what it used to be and that is the main problem..
