Burning the midnight (and morning) oil with a Casio fx-991CW - Matt Agajanian - 08-09-2023 05:34 AM
Hi all.
For the last few months, I've been hearing about Casio's fx-991CW. During the first few months looking for it on Casio's site turned up nada. So, I thought it was just a non-US calc.
On Sunday, quite a while past my first hearing about it, I decided to just check again. Not Amazon. Not Fry's. I punched it
up on Google. The list of retailers showed some well known US shops. I spotted a Door Dash listing. Yup! No typo. Door Dash. I said to myself, "What the hey. Let's see what happens.”
Itchy trigger finger pressed the link and just went through the motions. Next thing I know, "Your Door Dasher will be arriving in 35 minutes with your Casio 991CW 12 Digit… in 35 minutes. Follow this link and get continuous updates on your Door Dasher's progress."
Next thing I knew, here's the Door Dash guy walking up with a bag which I
could only tell had my 991CW in it.
To paraphrase Elaine on Seinfeld, "Yada, yada, yada… I have a new toy."
What happened is another story.
