HP 50g Graphing Calculator Specifications

I have to disagree with you, d_Javaman. As an engineer myself, my first and only choice in a serious calculator is the HP 4x 5x series. SysRPL and UserRPL are very powerful languages with a HUGE body of work behind them (see www.hpcalc.org).

If C is a necessity, HPGCC will do the trick (www.hpgcc.org).

ps: Don´t know if you noticed, but from my experience there is a very deep line in the sand separating the HP camp and the TI camp, so there is no amount of argument that will change anyone´s mind.

In reply to d_Javaman:
The HP 50G should have been designed to be programmable in the C or ASM (assembly) Language just like the TI-89 Titanium from Texas Instruments. This capability is what we, field engineers, rate as the most desirable.

Similar, yes. The same, no. It has a clock that is nearly identical except it no longer shows seconds (still has same resolution). Therefore, it isn´t nearly as good for a field or lab calculator as it once was.

And there is a bug in the alarm manager that may still be present so it may give problems as an alarm device (this is a top priority to fix though- Ver 2.9 still present).

Does the 50g have a clock similar to the 48 series?
