And your point is...Only $100 or so more. At that price, you may as
well buy the HP-48GX. Great processor (don't remember which one right
off hand), PCMCIA Type II slot, 128K internal RAM, IR capabilities,
Symbolic Manipulation, 3D graphing, and a lot of other stuff. I don't
own one (not to say I wouldn't want one, although I do like my TI-86
quite a bit) but you can use them for a lot more than you can the 92.
Best example: ACT/SAT tests.
