Yeah, yeah, I'm a n00b. Get over it. I came to this site by semi-accident. Currently, I am redesigning a website for TI, and HP graphing calculators. Well, suffice to say, the old programmers of the site were quite biased towards you Casio guys, or gals (the TI and HP community are like 99.9% Male, don't know bout you guys, so I gotta be nice!!). So, in order to keep the peace, I searched, and searched through the mighty oracle that is called "Google". I found nothing but teacher pages. All I wanted was a listing of all the Casio Calculators! So, using the intellegence of my little brother, I decided to just randomly type in "www.casiocalc.org", as there are www.calc.org, www.ticalc.org, and www.hpcalc.org.... I was happy when I saw that it worked! I was even happier when I saw "CrimsonCasio", one of my co-workers at www.dysfunctionti.tk.....

Anyways, I would appreciate some input on what you guys would like on www.calc.org. I also need info on all of the calculator's that Casio provides! Thanks! and have a good day!

Fixed the problem -- Crimson
Thank you --Patori

welcome pat

dont worry, we dont do the noob bashing I've seen on the ti forums

anyway, first off the casiocalc.org is a new thing, untill just recently we were casiocalc.org. as for a list of calcs here are the major ones:

fx-4700 (the really simple modle)
CFX-9850 (and its offsets)
CFX-9950 (and its offsets)
FX 1.0
Algebra FX2.0
ClassPad 300

btw, we have 1 girl, "Flore Love" but she runs casiocalto.free.fr and doesnt come here often.

as for Dysfunction I havent actually told anyone about that yet (mostly cause it has spoiler info for lydonia), but if anyone wants to go/join its better to use www.dysfunction.co.nr as .tk doesnt let you log in. the site is hosted on earthforge so you could also use dysfunction.earthforge.com (and please nobody kill me for using php nuke )

[Patori]

Oh goodie, no n00b bashing! Thank you for the listing of the calculators... Once I'm done with calc.org, I may buy a Casio.... lol

[CrimsonCasio]

here's some good links for you to use to find more info:

http://www.casio.co.jp/edu_e/classpad/
http://www.2072productions.com/
http://algebrafx2.earthforge.com/

am i missing anything big?

[Patori]

So, does anyone have any ideas that they would like implemented into calc.org? I mean, I wanna make it user friendly for everyone, even the Casio people !!!!
working

[CrimsonCasio]

well, i notice that all the options for what calc do you have say "TI, Hp, All" instead of including Casio

anyway, i'll keep looking.

[Patori]

And that would be the old, biased site. LOL. I'm working on it

Just to let ya'll see that I'm including you guys.

[CrimsonCasio]

great

the design a calc thing is neat (but again, no casio ), here's some info for that:

fx 4700: easy to use, very cheap, pathetic programming, middle to high school, useable on tests, no real advanced features.

cfx 9850: easy to use, cheap, ok programming (BASIC only), middle to college, useable on tests, dynamic graphing and conics section most advanced features (and has color).

cfx 9950: same as above, but has more memory and a very simplistic CAS, i think its useable on tests.

FX 1.0: moderately cheap, easy to use, supports ASM/C and BASIC (better quality), high school and up, has a hidden CAS and all the features of the CFX except no color, useable on tests.

Algebra FX2.0: same as the FX, but a bit more expensive, the CAS isnt hidden on this model so its not useable on the ACT, but it is on the SAT.

ClassPad 300: fairly expensive, easy to use, Supports C,C++, ASM, and BASIC++ and has a SDK from Casio, high school and up, very nice CAS and some extreamly advanced features, not useable on any tests i know of

edit: ahh, were being invaded

[the_unknown_one]

By the TI'ers!! Hey, i have an idea, lets see which community can come up with the best game... just kidding guys Anyway, i would like to have any of those calcs, 'cept the first one (fx 4700)... Can someone send me one?? I live in Belgium

[Patori]

yeah, i know about the invasion... sorry.... Anyways, for the information page that info will definatly help... But what's a CAS?

[CrimsonCasio]

computer algebra system, you know, symbolic manipulation and all that... like on the Ti-89.

[Patori]

So basically, those calcs would be like cheating.... I know they banned a few TI calc's, because of the Notefolio program (which you can use to cheat)... I hate cheaters.

[CrimsonCasio]

it depends on the class/test, some teachers allow CAS's and some dont... a CAS wont show the work for you so if thats required all the CAS can do is tell you if you got it right.

i dont use msn... but its in my profile, click my name.

[Patori]

thanks for the info crimson!!! Now, suggestions?

[the_unknown_one]

Suggestions for what?

[CrimsonCasio]

what kind of suggestions? site design? content? other?

one thing i think would be nice is to have a archive of emulators for the diffrent calcs, here's one for the AFX: http://ymorgan.site....100/WinG100.zip

and one for the CFX: http://casiofortissi...ic/casiocom.zip

there is one for the classpad but it costs money...

[the_unknown_one]

Can u program in those emulators, if so, COOL!!

[Bob Vila]

you can program on the CFX one, i donno about the AFX one, and you can on the Classpad one, but cant do much with it (i have the trial version of it)

[the_unknown_one]

Cool which one is CFX??

[Andy.Davies]

Nice to see that someone is trying to make an unbiased calculator site AFX's are allowed on all tests in the UK (as far as i know) becuase most people dont know what one is

[Bob Vila]

Cool which one is CFX??

the casiocom one

[octobclrnts]

@the_unknown_one:what kind of error does it give you? Is it an error on your computer or an error in the 'calculator' (such as syn error or ma error)?

[CrimsonCasio]

yeah... CasioCom is so very unstable...

@Andy: hey, for your next vb project why note make a new version of CasioCom

the picture was made by blending a classpad, ti-86 (the only pict i had on hand), and a Hp-49.

[octobclrnts]

This is a link to where you can download an emulator for the class pad 300. I don't know if this is what you want and I have never tried it myself (I stick to my own calc, it's a shame you don't have one but I do see that we are converting you).

http://www.classpad.de/files/setup.exe

BTW:Happy Birthday!

Let's all sing, I'll Start-Happy Birthday to you...

[Bob Vila]

you have to pay to get the whole thing, this one will not let you do certain stuff the full one can, and it can only be used so many times or it has a time limit

[the_unknown_one]

LOL octobclrnts, nah, i like my TI-83+ (cause i can program it so well ), i downloaded that emulator and from the moment i started it i thought WOW, is that a calculator?? looks more like a .... how are those little mini-computers called again, somethign with pal... Seems like u can use it 90 days or 999 uses, and u can do enough on it as long as i can program its sufficient

[Patori]

@everyone: Funny, I'm a n00b here, and I'm the only one following the "rules". Remember: no offtopic!. No offense everyone.

Anyways, I am co-ordinating the design of the site, so any bits of suggestions, are needed and wanted. www.calc.org/beta . BTW, the site like it is, isn't what it will be. I need to fix it... LOL www.sscentral.net/calc_org/ (A friend's idea, i like it)

[CrimsonCasio]

im going to seperate this into two topics and put one in the FDF, i'll leave the calc.org stuff here.

done, i hope its more readable now... link to the wacky side of the topic: http://www.casiocalc...?showtopic=1585

from now on only calc.org stuff here, violate and i'll let mohammed smite you

[Patori]

OK. Thank you CrimsonCasio. (Sorry if that is off-topic!!!)

Anyways, I'm gonna do a redeisign.

[CrimsonCasio]

no problem, i was as bad as anyone else

do you need any graphics? backgrounds? logo's? etc...

[Patori]

hmmm I'm gonna need (small) pictures for user id's. Basically, i need a few small calculator images, casio, ti, and hp, that have dupes that are faded. The faded calcs are ones u dont use, the unfaded, are the ones you do.

[CrimsonCasio]

would you beleive I already have picts of a Casio, Ti, and Hp calcs in both faded and clear format?

[Patori]

hm. Yes.
