this is not promising at all. i've worked in computers and software and calculators for nearly 40 years and i cannot get the ti nspire computer program to give me the answer to 355/113. or indeed the answer to anything at all. i have the calculator keyboard on the screen but the keys don't work. i typed the figures into a box using the mac keyboard.
to say that this software is not intuitive is understating the situation by several orders of magnitude.
yet, in an enormous leap of cognitive dissonance, i also state that i have ordered the calculator. hopefully it will be somewhat easier to use than the computer program, but, given the hp50 and the ti89 as examples, i'm not at all hopeful.

Looks interesting. There is a Classpad 330 according to their web-site.
Try the free download trial of NSpire computer software instead of a
hand held device. Has the best of everything. Great screen, mouse
control, storage capacity. This way you can try a NSpire for 30 days
free. Then buy a device if you like it.
