I was pretty excited to come across this over the weekend.
In my first year of engineering (UBC), some 2nd years advised me to get an HP48 calculator. It was expensive, but worth the investment they said. I bought the 48GX, a 128KB memory card and some books... and glad I did. This calculator has served me well... but today some of the keys don't work as well as they used to. And I can't get a suitable replacement. I have and use an emulator on my phone and desktop - but its not the same. And the newer HP calculator keys don't feel great to me. In the meantime, I rely on the more reliable vintage HP15c (one built in the 80s with silicon on saphire and amazing keys).
I really appreciate SwissMicros building high quality clones of the best HP calculators. And I am super excited about what the hint of upcoming products based on Saturn Emulation. That must mean a DM48 is on the horizon!
