I'm new to the 49G...
1. If someone wants an algebraic calculator, don't they buy TI? I thought
the main point of buying HP was to get RPN; so why is the _default_ mode on

2. The users guide that came with the 49G is inadequate ...
My 1999 edition of the guide has incorrect instructions ...

I've played with it for a long time to no avail (and remember I've been
teaching the class on how to do it on the 48 for a half-dozen years). I
keep getting PPAR errors. Not one single plot yet. I've even taken the
batteries out to reset it to its factory condition and I still can't get
the instructions in the manual to produce a plot for me.
