  • I feel like you need this calculator...

    Next to the fx-85GT which I think is similar to your 8200AU. They are certainly based on the same calculating platform. The Casio's latest (cw) platform is very high precision, I think 20+ digits, and the Sharp is 16, not that anyone needs more than 10 though. The display on the Casio is better - higher resolution and slightly better contrast, but the Sharp is still good and sufficient for needs. The Sharp is far more direct in use - the 'change' button just cycles through output types. It will convert straight to other bases or Deg/Rad/Grad, and change the mode at the same time. Memory handling seems to me to be WAY better (i.e. what way are you meant to store a result into variable 'A' on the Casio? - you think it should be the variable button, but then its a menu select for the variable, another menu select for what you want to do with it, and even then it isn't obvious how to store your result!). The Sharp is just STO A or STO B etc. Also 1÷2E3 gives the expected answer.

    I will post you one from the UK if you can't get one there!

  • Just to follow up, there's a great thread on integration on the W506T here: https://www.hpmuseum.org/forum/thread-13968.html. The upshot is that is that the 506 uses Simpson's, which will falls down in some use cases, especially ones with asymptotic curves, and needs the user to select more iterations manually.

    In terms of trigs I tried these two: cos(1.57079632 rad) = 6.79491584e-9, which is correct to 4 decimal places. Not bad, better than older Casios, not as good as the latest Casio platforms which get at least 9 digits correct. arcsin(arccos(arctan(tan(cos(sin(9 deg)))))) = 9.0000001 which is reasonable.

  • Ah, it's now obligatory!

  • I'd say it's kind of nice. Something very pleasing about having the two lines, but it is not more functional as a result. The constants/conversions are very nice and well-implemented. Think some people will find them useful for day to day stuff or at school.

    DM-15L official 2-line firmware has landed

  • Oh wow, the whole thread is just people suggesting alternatives!! OP - enjoy your neovim and don't listen to the rest. It's a terrific editor and will be around for many decades more.

  • That thing holds it's place in computing history. Kinda the first pocket computer?

  • He really likes it. The titanium back has given a great looking engraving of his initials. Now just hoping he didn't lose it!

    Got a DM-15L for my son, and hand printed/bound the manual

  • Respect for the 4 level stack!

  • Very nice! Was this a rebranding of another make or made by radioshack themselves?

    also

  • Ah yes that's a pretty nice graphing calculator, also looks pretty good in pink!

    I think this is the best looking Casio (fx-992s)

  • I think I like the buttons and the highly-specialised functionality. At least that's what I think when people say 'what's the point, you have a far more powerful calculator in your pocket already'. Yes, one without buttons.

  • It is! Not mine sadly, but amazing to see such a thing. I didn't have much time so apologies for not stopping down enough - I didn't realise at the time!

  • Nice!

  • Really glad you enjoyed it!! It's a very very small niche of people I think.

    Totally would love to work on an edge cases database! It is no secret (posted on swiss micros forum), but I can do a submission here if that works?

  • It's actually a really nice bit of software. Really nice range of functions.

    Casio FX-6300G

  • Yes, looks like coated aluminium - not unlike a can but a little thicker and with no sharp edges. I've not seen these before but I think they are disposable/recyclable - i.e. a replacement for a plastic cup and far more pleasant to drink from. I took mine home as a souvenir, but I have had to unsquish it today taking it out of hold luggage.

  • Yes, in fact before I got my DM42 I had one holiday where we had no internet access in the evenings and as the children were small and slept early, I didn't have much to do but I was able to learn a lot about using and programming free42.

  • You do have to remind yourself at the beginning that you're using RPN, but after a while it feels a bit like working sums out on paper.

    Sea, beer and a calculator.

  • Just to clarify - means two taps of the esc key in succession will clear highlighting (ps I'm curious how other people do it!).
