So what does everybody think? Will this replace the fx-CG50 or the fx-9750GIII with the styling of the fx-991CW? Which one is showing its age more and is crying out for round buttons? Or will we get shocked with a new ClassPad?

I hope not. Especially from Casio.
I’m definitely not saying that they are stupid machines, just that I’m too stupid to use them
It is a beauty, but it’s sure seen better days. It kept displaying Low Voltage
, even with fresh batteries. I cracked the case in a few places taking it apart to fix it. I have no idea what I did, other than touch a multimeter to a few spots on the board, but it works fine now. Dumb luck, I guess.
It is absolutely gorgeous, but I’ve always been confused by financial calculators. The buttons are all gibberish, and I have no idea what they do. I’ve got a TI-BA II Plus in my collection, but I think I’ve only turned it on four or five times 'cause I get scared.
Between the PDAs and my bullet journal, I’m pretty well set.
I’ve picked up seven Asvine pens over the last year, and have been very happy with all of them. They’re an impressive pen maker.
Gorgeous photo of a couple of beautiful machines! The DM42 is on my bucket list, but my wife needs some serious convincing that $250 USD is OK to spend on a calculator. What pen is that, by the way? Nevermind! I looked at the alt text!
Thank you! I am so excited, but terribly nervous, too!
My first fountain pen was a Lamy Safari Charcoal with a Medium nib. I still make sure that I write at least a couple of lines with it every day. It’s currently inked up with Diamine Midnight.
It’s a fun way to combine a couple of different collections. I’ll need to throw up some more pics now that the community is getting to be more active!
Not too terribly much. I’m a network devops engineer, so a lot of my day is just parsing JSON. Stuff pops up from time to time, though, and I’m grateful to have my collection. I’m also going back to school at the age of 48 for a BS in Physics, so I’ll be putting them through their paces over the next few years, too!
That machine is in great shape! I had a Casio fx-7700G in high school and always felt like I had one hand tied behind my back when I had to use a TI-82 for tests. They were capable little machines, but I didn’t have the muscle memory to use them quickly.
The TI-86? It’s actually a beast of a calculator when it comes to Linear Algebra. It handles complex matricies better than any other TI calculator with the exception of the Nspire CX and CX II. That said, I have never used one either, lending credence to your observation. I have passed up several auctions for them since the TI-8X line of calculators is not one that I actively collect.
I think that any of HP’s RPN calculators with the exception of the 12C is considered a collectible.
It’s like the difference between using a beautiful damascus paring knife to cut an apple, and using a Swiss Army knife to do the same thing. The Swiss Army knife will do the job, but the paring knife will feel better cutting it up. There realistically isn’t anything that the electronic organizers can do that a smartphone can’t, but the organizer was designed from the ground up to do exactly what it does, and nothing else. There is a joy to using something that was crafted for a specific purpose. Just like I have a bunch of calculators on my phone, I still never leave the apartment without a real calculator. And I’ve never reached for my phone when I’ve needed a calculator except for in an emergency when I was too far away from my desk.
Absolutely allowed, and encouraged! I love that you took a picture of it next to a Safari, too! I was just asking you about the Traveler’s Company Brass pen earlier today, and I am so happy that I’m not the only person in both communities.
That is yet another gorgeous calculator from your collection! I really need to set up an eBay alert for one, and somehow keep my wife from finding out that I’m adding a new calculator to my arsenal.
I have been drooling on these for years. It would take winning the lottery for me to justify spending $2000 USD on one, though.
Does the overlay come with it? The 16C has been on my list for a long time, but I didn’t know that the 15C collectors edition had that capability!
That is a beautiful picture, and it looks like you’re having a lovely time! Plus, I can show my wife that I’m not the only one who brings a calculator on vacation!
