| Nov 6, 2023 at 12:00 | comment | added | Chris H | A case in point: I've still got a graphing Casio at home. It was my ex's in school and at uni. I got rid of mine when we decided we didn't need 2. I don't think I've turned it on in a decade. As a scientific calculator there are phone apps or the PC, and for graphing, there's always a PC not far away, which is far clearer and more versatile. | |
