I just came across your db48x comments, and since I couldn't reply there (old post), thought I'd catch you here :)
I saw that you're a fan of the hp48, and enjoy loading the different libraries. I recently got into the world of HP calculators, and have been really enjoying the learning experience on HP48GX (via Emu48 on my android).
I've been tinkering with some of the libraries, and would love some opinions on a couple of questions.
- I currently have on my list the following libraries: speedui, erable, alg48, qpi, solvesys, stat48pro. Do you suggest any other libraries to dabble with? Anything that'd improve tthe calculator capabilities in math statistics or finance, or general useful utilities (like SpeedUI). I also came across mathtools but not sure if it adds value.
When trying to answer this question I also came across https://mrityunjay.tripod.com/OS/HPUX/hp48/part4/faq.html , but not sure if all said apps (mainly Application and Math ones) are decent and compatible or not.
- Is EQSTAK necessary if SpeedUI is installed, or not really? I ask because Erable suggests installing it, but I think speedui does the same thing?
Hi, I haven't really used my HP48 much over the last years. I bought a bunch of HP50G calculators, and since those had most of the stuff I need preloaded, I took the easy path and I just use a stock HP50G these days. I've found that it has pretty much everything I need.
I got intrigued and loaded a 50g on Emu48 on my android.
The layout change from 48gx is a bit disorienting, but it does seem like a more powerful calculator!
Right off the first use I was so glad to find a soft menu flag. Not sure of other necessary settings, but this one definitely helps.
