Dan,

I have an HP48SX. I bought that about a year before they announced the
HP48GX. I have attempted to develop my own programs for SR with the HP. Then
I realized that I was spending more time learning about programming the HP
then about navigation.

Like I said before, I like HP calculators. So I would feel real bad if I
trashed an HP. Some how, I don't get the same feeling if I trashed a Casio.

Since the Casio fx-300 is not programmable, I develop cheat sheets for
formulas I need. I have one for SR to altitude/intercept, and sailings. I
put it on a 3x5 card and laminate it. If all else fails, I can fall back on
the basics.

Sam
