Re: Dumbinb down or change of focus?

the world is a much more complicated place these days More cumbersome, noisy and artificially fast, but in no way more complicate. My parents and grandparents had to deal with much bigger problems than knowing how to put the address in a GPS or use mobile banking. Moving from a rural environment to...

Re: Dumbinb down or change of focus?

The movie Idiocracy should be projected in classrooms. Yes, the humor is lame but it’s at their level. By God, I had never thought I will given a film suggestion in this forum. Thus, yesterday evening with my SO away on business I fetched this film by video on demand and had a really good laugh. Un...

Re: Dumbinb down or change of focus?

Totally agree with the comments.

I think that sokrates has summarized quite well the main problems.
I have worked as an Electrical and Automation teacher in a vocational school and the situation is the same but, sadly, in my country, far from correct the damage, they are making it worse.

The way that RPL works with units, that was key to saving time and brainpower for me
That, the way you can use the calculator functions with the shift keys, and RPL, are the reasons why I miss my HP48gx the most.

Re: DM48 Still Wanted

Great layout and functionality, but yes, very poor quality... my HP48 died because the keyboard. The problem was easy to solve, but it was nearly impossible to open and reassemble the case properly (unless you had very specific tools). You mean your HP-49g? I'm confused now. As for the HP-48, I sti...

Re: Upgraded keypad

I've placed the new domes two days ago. At first, I was a bit worried because the domes were not totally aligned with the PCB (yes I followed the video instructions to the letter), but seems that everything went well (in fact, the old domes were also a bit misaligned). Anyway, now the keypad does no...

Re: Upgraded keypad

Have you received any reply yet? I'm still waiting, they used to reply within a couple of days before so I don't know if they're busy, if the email has changed (it's the one on their website though) or if they can't / don't want to solve the problem. No reply yet...I'm wondering exactly the same. G...
