Am I the only one who think the 41CX totally outclasses the 42 series?

The primary difference is simply the expandability of the 41 series, plus the hacking of synthetic programming.

Outside of that, as a calculator, the 42s is a better, more capable device.

Make no mistake, the 41 series was very cool. How many other calculators had floppy drives, plus whatever else you could wire into the 41.

But the 42s is just flat out a better calculator.

I have Free42 on my iPhone, but I typically reach for iHP48 over the 42. Just more comfortable with it.

I still have my 41C, not that I use it much any more, plus some cards, case, and such. Wish I could find a good home for it.
I have the iOS i41CX+ app. I love it.
