I bought the multiview but never used it . . . although the display is nice, I find it too slow.

I wish the SOA would approve non-Texas Instruments calculators . . . I find all TI calculators are too slow my my double-finger tapping

To the TI-30XII-S. Not necessarily computation wise, but for scrolling and editing your calculations and stuff.

Other than for financial calculations (such as FM), I absolutely hate the BAII. It really hasn't changed much since the 80s.
