I bought a Nspire CAS CX thanks to this thread. [sub]I needed one anyway since my sister's hoarding the TI84.[/sub]

That's where an FX 9750/9850G comes in. Best bang-for-buck graphical calculators on the market.

I think I'm fine with my old Casio fx-115MS.

If you mean find the roots, that's pretty easy. Even without a calculator; the right use of surds and the quadratic equation, you don't need to touch anything but your pen.

Noy very efficient, though.

[QUOTE=michaeldim;38399277]Don't they already have the color TI-Nspires that are drastically superior to the 84 in terms of screen resolution and processing power?[/QUOTE]Yes, but they're horrendous to use. Give me the old 84 any day.

I could never live without the TI-36X Pro MultiView, which is essentially that thing with a more sensible button layout.[/QUOTE]

This

Especially with the way you can hack 9860GII firmware on to a 9750 - adds full natural display etc.
