 May not be what you need September 30, 2008
I purchased this Casio because it was a lot cheaper then a TI83/84. In it's advertising it says it does the same functions but I am finding that it does not. When it does do one of the functions it is off by it's rounding or it doesn't come up with the same type of answer (different form like decimal) which I have to then translate to the correct form. For me it was not worth the price break.
 Great Buy! September 22, 2008
This Graphing calculator is the model that my son's school requested. I can see why. It has all of the functions needed to help him perform in Geometry as well as chemistry class. If you need a good graphing calculator this is a great buy.
Great Graphing Calculator September 14, 2008
I have used this calculator for 3 years, and it been of great service to me. The icon-based UI makes things much easier to find and use (there are also hotkeys you could push for faster access, they're on the lower right corner of the icons). I like the screen, it has blue on green text, and it's a higher resolution than the TI-83 (I haven't seen the screens on the newer TI models). Overall it is more user friendly, with some exceptions: instructions in math class, and programs and games. Most if not all math textbooks have instructions for TI calculators, which dominate the education market. There aren't games that are graphically based like the TI calcs (Then again, you shouldn't be playing games during class), also programming is somewhat annoying to do, because all the options are handled by the Function keys. I prefer the Casio over TI (based on the TI-83, I haven't tried any other models), because of its user friendliness, and its price.

I have used this caculator for about half a year now. it works wonderfully. it takes a while to learn all the functions and notations and stuff, but once you do, it is so cool. i use it for my math class now, and i am super pleased. i am also glad because it seems very durable. i dropped this thing so many times, but it hasn't broken yet. overall, i would reccommend this to anyone who is looking for a graphing calculator that doesn't mind taking time to learn the fuctions/doesn't care that the screen is black and white. my only problem is that it can't really do inequalities.
GOT WHAT I NEEDED October 3, 2007
Very specific instrument. If you need a graphing Calc, in my opinion this is the best "cost efficient"
