Samson Cables is selling a book entitled "The Definitive User's Guide
to the HP48g/49g/50g Calculators". Has anyone purchased this book and
/ or have any opinion about it?

If "(yawn)" is intended to be a short review, it's not useful as it
stands.
If you meant, "For someone of my exalted technical level of expertise,
this book is too basic to be useful", please so state. The excerpts
appear useful to me; I'm not an RPL hacker but instead a heavy
technical user of the machine who occasionally stumbles over some
glitch in the calc OS.
Of course, if you're just informing us that you're going offline,
please ignore my snippish remark above.
