I'm tired of all the gripes...

RE: I'm tired of all the gripes...
I'm new here, but I've seen a lot of negativity on the web about this calculator as well.

To my mind, it's sort of a hybrid of the Casio and HP lines. It has the nice menus and easy to use programming language that the casio graphing calcs have, only it's a hell of a lot more powerful.

What it's not is an update of the 50g. And that's the main bone of contention, I think. I think a lot of people are disappointed that RPN seems to be a relic of the past now. As a (very) late convert to RPN I can absolutely see that, but honestly, the Prime is a great little machine. It's fast, powerful, has a great interface, and it's not just something your kid is gonna use in school. It's got some very clever design features.

While the 50g and DM42 are probably my favorites, this is the goto calc for anything needing graphing. As someone who is re-learning math as an adult, it's a great study aid as well. And the built in language is surprisingly powerful stuff.

So, count me in as another fan.
