Are The Casio's Machines For Simplest Task Only?

Are they really toys for simple tasks? or is just a mith and CASIO machines match the profile for High Engineering Work??
I take a look to my CP300 and i can't accept that, it is just a beauty toy.
NOTE : By the way, CASIO could to enable an option to anulate some functions in the CP300 just like in the Algebra FX 2.0 just for the exams.
Here is a link to another forum (In Spanish) that get to the point :

this simply cannot be done since the CAS is so integrated into the OS, ive had looooong discussions with casio and saltire on this pointNOTE : By the way, CASIO could to enable an option to anulate some functions in the CP300 just like in the Algebra FX 2.0 just for the exams.
as for your other comment, the CP300 has yet to fail to do something mathematically that i needed it to do... (aka, add and subtract...)

Sorry Crimson but i dont know what do you mean when says "the CP300 has yet to fail to do something mathematically that i needed it to do... (aka, add and subtract...)".
Anyway and just like i'd posted before, im a CASIO user & fan but a rational one, and i always like to contrast opinions.

Have you tried it? I find its alot better for more complicated tasks (eg, heavy symbolics and problems with multiple matrices). Remember it is optional, by default the calc works like a TI/Casio. Also the Equation Writer is the best entry method I've seen yet.

Look, this subject is the same that discuss about who become first, the egg or the chicken...i understand your position, you are happy with te P. Notation I'd try it several times on HP Machines and i still think and feel that the Polish notation is a real pain in the "......".
But my earlier post is focused on a different subject, the question was : Why the people seems to prefer HP/TI machines for Engineering Heavy Duty calculation tasks instead the CASIO's machines??. I'm relucted to believe that is only for how they looks like!!!!...must to be some an other powerfull reason hided there.

plus, of course, i think were being brought up to date in all other regards by the "recent" (some of you dont realize how recent it is relatively) support of casio and saltire... and ive never heard of a Ti or Hp person (with any ability to change things) participating in the community, this lends us a (to coin a phrase) "un-official officialness" that the other calc comunities dont have... but then, im no expert in non-casio matters...
anyway, thats a good summary of how i see things... and then of course, ive always liked casios because i derive an almost masacistic joy from the challenges of working with an inferior calc and pushing back the limits of what it could do (in this case im refering to casio basic, which has always been inferior...)

"nd ive never heard of a Ti or Hp person (with any ability to change things) participating in the community"
you really don't know how you are wrong, ok hp people don't really use forums but they use newsgroups and people involved in the development of the os and cas of HP49 DO participate and no one cries out laud noob even when someone ask a pretty simple question, they answer and they help
about that everyone is entitled to an opinion, mine is that RPN is great when things get complicated, it's a lot easyer to use, you say you've tried it on some calculators i do own one and to really appreciate it you need to have such a calculator long enough to compare several tasks using both notations, i admit that when i bought my hp i started using algebraic because it was the only notation i was used to but bit by bit i started using RPN and now i really dont use algebraic anymore.Ok...the polish notation is a pain in the "...."
Now about casio calcs being good only for simple tasks is not completely true, i have a cfx and a friend of mine has a afx and another one has a cp but i haven't seen the cp yet so i'll talk about the cfx and afx only.
cfx - standart graphing calculator, i've allways missed file support and it could be faster running programs and it could support asm progs, appart from that it's ok you can't really ask too much of a calculator that doesn't have a cas system
afx - advanced calculator, it's somewhat faster than cfx running basic progs, it supports asm progs but still no file support using basic, it has a cas system BUT as far as i know you need to go into the cas menu do do the magic, i don't like that, and hp/ti calcs allow the use of the cas directly on the stack/history appart from that the cas systems should be comparable, about the other functions of the calculator, every calculator is better than the others in something, for me casio is easyer to use, ti a pain in the b*** it's not as easy as casio and it's not as flexible as hp but it's fast, and finally hp, flexible calcs you can customise just about anything right out of the box, lots of engeneering progs, oh and i has forgetting ... it supports RPN
