Re: ok, the big question
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. The mentality of this group is declining
daily.
You have a 92 which is a superb game player, looks like a gameboy and
has a 68000. I assume that the Fargo programmers have all sorts of games.
You need a calculator that you can use on the SAT and ACT, and yet a major
consideration is its ability to play games. Are you going to play games
during
the SAT and ACT? Because if you are, don't bother taking the tests.
What you should be looking for is a calculator that will provide you with the
power you need on these tests. As a teacher of Sat preparation classes, I
think you
should be able to do anything you need with the simplest of scientific calcs
but I am sure you don't want that answer.
My recommendation would be to get a TI83. It supplements the functions of
your 92 by adding all of the complex statistical and financial functions.
That
would be the best bang for your buck.
