- I own a SPARC II, what you would consider a serious computer, as well as
- a DECStation 5000 and they are great machines and do what I want - alas
- they are not portable. The portable 'computer' of my choice is the HP48SX.
-
- Not only does it contain the EE formulas I use most, I keep my appointment,
- flight schedules on trips, address/telphone book, expense reports and quick
- notes on an HP48SX equipped with 2 128K RAM cards. It is the most portable
- and flexible tool I have. Agreed, I can't type a report on it but it goes
- everywhere I go.

- Wouldn't a 95LX be better for most of this? It has a built-in
- appointment calendar, spreadsheet, etc., and you can develop
- specialized programs for it much more easily using cross compilers.
