From: Robert Hildinger on 26 Jun 2006 00:34 FYI for those interested... HP is apparently shipping 49G+ calculators with serial numbers in the CNA6xxxxxxx range. I picked one up today at the Fry's near DFW airport in Dallas. The differences between this and my previous CNA525xxxxx version are as follows: 1. The calulator now ships in cardboard box packaging instead of the finger-slicing blister packaging. 2. The keyboard appears to be the vastly improved variety that Eric Rechlin has described in the latest 49G+ revisions: very 48G-like, with much more quiet action and perfect accuracy, insofar as my limited testing has shown. 3. The keys themselves *appear* to be injection-molded, although this may just be an illusion. When I compare them to my previous 49G+, they don't have the obvious painted-on look that the older keys have. 4. The screen seems to be very, very slightly different in its background color and contrast, but not really any better or worse than the old screen. Just thought you might like to know... -Robert Hildinger

It's great. No more key breaks. -- Dr. Lee: The programming is actually built by interfacing memories from the individual's consciousness with the chair's matrix.

What TW is actually requesting is that you put on a pair of polorized sunglasses, and compare the newer model to the older model. I think you will see a solid black screen due to the polorized glasses on the older unit, and will see an even more stunningly contrasted screen while wearing polorized sunglasses with the new screen. I am very interested in obtaining independant confirmation of this. John Evers |
