Re: graphing calculators

I really don't think we can justify any additional curriculum around
graphing calculators.  They are difficult to program and offer a far
inferior grasp of computing (and graphing) compared to full-fledged
computers, which have become affordable.

The graphing calculator chapter is over.  No further innovation in this
department makes any sense -- my personal view (most of my engineering
friends here in the Silicon Forest strongly agree).
