- You can get just the 48SX for less than $300, and achieve 90% of the
- benefit of your $500 setup.

- The HP-41 line was sold for about 10 years before being replaced by
- the 48SX. That means you have seven years left.
-

- Nor I. Not major ones, anyway.

- I don't have any idea about forthcoming models. They may introduce
- one next week. I doubt that any new model will be significantly
- better unless it costs a lot more money, so if the current one does
- what you want, why not get it.
