Ok... so I thought I'd tell you about my day today... So I woke up with £40 on my desk... this was for my new graphic calculator (which is UBER sexy, and colour) So.. went into college, went to psychology lesson... in which we did an experiment as to how fast you eat a licorish whip a) on your own b) in pairs (both on their own pieces)... and so i took part in that and ate loaaads of strawberry lace... which is gorgeous... then went tutor... wandered around a bit... then... freshers fair... I got coasters, pens, pencils, postit pads, fluffy things with sticky feet with wobbly eyes, loads of stickers and fliers.... oh and half a pizza courtesy of Dominos then went and got calculator (Casio CFX-9850G).. and by god it's nice... it's decently fast (faster than my Sharp EL-9650), thinner, and colour so then I still had a couple of hours to kill... so I wandered around town.. and met up with friends... went to Virgin... bought a DVD (panic room if you're interested) and got £1 free airtime ... then went to computing... did boring things and was playing with net send for ages between checking here... But the ultimate downside.... I've been nastily ill all day... (but taking tomorrow off so it's all good) So that's an eventfulish day in the life of Lorquis.... You may not care but I'm relitively happy dispite being ill...
My casio CFX-9950 GB PLUS is quite slow in comparison to other calculators, I think. For instance when calculating intersections between lines and such. It takes forever! It starts with a little red cross whics scrolls along the line from like -100 and uses 10 seconds to reach the intersection. While the process of calculating the intersection is really simple, just a plain formula. Texas' do it in one second or less...
what scared me most about the thing was the manual.... 419 pages of forrestry! And re: TI calculators.... they are a wee bit expensive... but I imagen they are damn good...
I like my TI86 a lot, it is very nice... My sister has a TI89, and it is ok, but I like my 86 better (the 89 has too much junk on it that is not useful in the least bit). We must all be weird, sitting here and talking about calculators. /me waits for the ultimate nerd to say he has overclocked his calculator
I'm verrrry tempted to put some lighting into my calculators now... it would munch the batteries... but it's worth it... lack of a backlight is my only real niggle with calculators...
it gets to be a hassle when you have to pull out a laptop every time you want to graph a simple quadratic equation in class
why can't you just sketch quadratics without some fancy graphing calculator though? Didn't allow any fancy calculators in my exams
/rubs me TI92 beast it roxs beats all or your things mwuhahahaha cuagh spluter my pda was also good at calculations
. I love my HP 49g. Does everything an 89/92 will do but it shows the steps on calculus related problems . I really want the HP 49+ though... Bigger screen, mucho faster, and they are adding the equation library back in. Won't have to memorize anything or program them in myself PS - I've never seen a Casio graphing calculator before, are they pretty nice?
