- But the 42S can do more matrix functions than the 48S(X).
- I agree that the interface is not complete on the 42S but it is still a
- very powerful machine for the size and the price. If you don't require
- an RPL machine or even a Hewlett-Packard, take a look at the new TI-85.
- This machine can do all that the 42S can do plus much more and for the
- same price.
