GUISVL / GUIMES : Pimp Your Equation Solver.

[qwerty42]

I have no affiliation with Andreas, but I wanted to put in a good word for his OS Extension Pack and the integrated help software for the 50G.

If you guys out there are students or professional engineers and still use your 50g a lot for number crunching and quick equation solving, you should really consider trying his software. It's an add-on that installs over the stock HP rom, and improves functionality of certain things like the equation solvers and adds extra functionality that really should have been there from the get-go. I have 2 50g's, and though I liked them a lot before purchasing Andreas' software, I think his software takes them to the realm of what we all hoped HP would have done in the first place.

The 50G is a complex beast, and the integrated help information for every command with examples is REALLY nice to have on-board. Also, his improvements to the equation library and solver are really convenient and very well-done, and really make the 50G a joy to use. I own 2 TI-89s, a TI Nspire CX CAS, two 50g's, and a handful of other calculators, and with Andreas' extension pack I feel the 50g is by far the best of the bunch for 95% of my needs.

Again, I'm not associated with him or his software in any way, other than having purchased it and being a satisfied user. Surely it takes a huge amount of time to code it and keep improving it, and I doubt that what he makes on it even begins to cover his time invested. If you're on the fence, give it a try, I don't think you'll be disappointed, and you'll be supporting one of the few people who is still pushing the 50g to new limits.
