Right this would be so much better looking, not to mention infinitely more useful. Too bad the option to program it and keep notes nullifies its use on exams.



As for the TI-30XS, only real problem with it is the stupid button between the = and +.

It sucks for anything that doesn't involve finding interest rates. One line display is the suck when it comes to long calculations.
