- I recently bought one of these and I must say it is a good deal. It doesn't
- work algebraically with vectors, but it can be taught. However there are
- other graphing calculators out there. You might want to look into the 21S,
- for example. A friend of mine had one of these and it has satisfied his
- needs. However, I do believe it is more expensive than the 48SX. The 48SX
- works well with matrices and statistics and has a wide variety of ufnctions
- and is easilly programmed. I believe it to be worth the $250 or whatever
- you end up paying for it.
