Although you could have put it a teensy bit more diplomatically, I agree
with the sentiment. With all the recent "who's the best" threads going
on, it still amazes me that maybe a tenth of the people out there fully
utilize their calcs. So what does it matter if you Ti-92 does all this
crap, if you still don't even fully exploit a Ti-82?! I see guys with
$200 calcs on their desks, trying to balance a checkbook--and that will
be the hardest workout it receives.
A piece of advice for peace of mind--at least you have a clue. That
means you at least can work smarter if not harder.
