I got a TI NSpire CAS thinking "ooh 250mb of RAM (or something)" and "ooh 700mhz arm processor" It's shit, it's so educational style that on the box it is like "you can move equations" and shows y=x^2 being turned into y=(x-c)^2 for translation - only works on x^2 - the CAS takes forever on practical things, the graphs are slow as hell to plot, terrible thing. Love my Casio FX 9860 GII It has an SD card, a backlight, you can overclock it which is nice and I replace the 4xAAAs (which are rechargeable) like once every 2 years, it's amazing how long they've lasted. It's a nice little "math shell" in how you can press up and re-run stuff, had it since sixth form, love it. |

Back in my 6800/6809 ASm days , I loved this one http://www.datamath.org/Sci/Slanted/Programmer-II.htm I still have it , and it's working :) Got it exchanged via TI , from a Programmer to a Programmer II - The previous had the "ugly TI key-prell" /Bingo |

The TI calculators always had lousy keys. Press "5" and you'd get "555". Miserable quality, That's where the HPs shone. |

I have the older version of the TI Programmer. It has the little red bubble LEDs. I bought it during my quest to find a calculator with light up digits. |
