fed up with prime

[Helge Gabert]

I don't know what happened to him, but I do know that I loved his two treatises about HP-48 insights, and HP48 applications. Well written, and informative!

Regarding the Prime, all I can say is that I'm glad I bought one last year, warts and all - - my first one actually died running the very buggy rev 5106 - - but it provided me with much intellectual stimulation. With the latest release, new features have been added (e.g., statistical inference capabilities, which will be very useful). Of course, some new bugs will always be introduced because of the modern complexities (chipset, touchscreen interfaces, etc.) mentioned above, but I'm confident future firmware upgrades will make this a fantastic handheld calculator. I'm still using my 50G, but it is not nearly as much fun!
