Title: What is all the whining about?
Product review: I recently added a 49g to my collection and after reading the complaints about the keys, my question is; why all the whining? Yes, the keys are rubber, not hard plastic like the HP calculators that I've used since the early 80s, like the 41c, 15c, 28c/s and the 48 series (I still have them all). They are still so much better in feel than the top of the line TIs that it's hard to even compare (I own an 84+ and an 89).As far as power and ease of use, this HP is head and shoulders above the competition. As an educator, I consider it very unfortunate that TIs have claimed the market in secondary education. HPs are much better examples of professional tools and I believe that they are much more prominent in engineering and scientific settings than the competition.If you don't like the rubber keys, drop the extra money and get a 50g. Don't even bother with a TI.If you want a real working tool and not a school supply, get an HP.
