I had an HP 48G that I cracked open and soldered extra memory into some 25 years ago, but I was always jealous of the 48GX. So, when it became clear the COVID-19 pandemic wasn&amp;#x27;t going to be even remotely short-lived I decided to finally splurge on a 48GX to satiate my childhood dreams (aim high kids!) and to see if I could get it to act as a probe endpoint for my company&amp;#x27;s Modality analysis software.&lt;p&gt;I absolutely love the 48GX, and playing around with it has been fun as I&amp;#x27;d hoped (including the esoteric land surveying software expansion card), but if SwissMicros made its own version I&amp;#x27;d buy it in a heartbeat. A 40 Mhz Cortex-M4F under the hood of a homage to the 48GX would be awesome!</text></comment>

If I need a calculator, usually I&amp;#x27;m at a computer, and bc, dc, or a spreadsheet is readily available.&lt;p&gt;If I&amp;#x27;m not at a keyboard, then the calculator app on my cell phone will do. Which just led me down the rabbit hole of Android RPN calculator apps. :o)&lt;p&gt;Still, there&amp;#x27;s nothing quite like the tactile feel of a classic HP calculator keyboard from back when HP really was Hewlett-Packard.</text></comment>
