yes, i definitely ordered the cas version.
like you it seems, i've owned nearly every major calculator release from the two major players. not that i need them for anything but to follow along in science books and to satisfy my curiosity. i think i have a ti83/84/89 and hp35s/48/50 and some sort of worthless casio lying around along with a few of the much older hp's.
as i said, i still consider the hp 27s one of my all time favorites. it was a strange mixed bag of timers and clock, business and statistics and tech and conversion functions. it was for a technical manager and didn't even use rpn. but the display was horrible and the battery life was worse. and the clock was to laugh at--a sundial was more accurate. i guess it just goes to show how individual the liking of one keyboard or input method.
i haven't had time today to return to the mac version of the ti cas software. when i spend 10 minutes and can't do a simple arithmetic operation though i have to wonder if the programmers even gave it to a single person outside the lab to test. at least it's a free trial and perhaps once (or if) i learn the calculator it will become apparent how to run the computer software.

TI-86, TI-58, and at least a couple others I can't recall at the moment, I
anxiously await your commentary and/or review of the TI-Nspire. Did you order
the CAS version?
