Hi everyone!
I Just want to know, is the FX-9860 calculator any good? I try google'ing it and cant seem to find any good sites that talk much about it (games?) . Is it unpopular or what? Also, the only site I found that sold this was Office Max.
P.S. -- I am comparing this to an HP calculator (HP-39gs)
Is The Fx-9860g Calc. Any Good?

Yeah, the fx-9860G is really good. 
If you live in the USA, you can buy the slim version right now (Do you want to buy me one also? 
): http://my.casio.com/...ct=FX-9860GSlim

Hmmm. I kindof new to casio graph. calculators, the only one I have is the FX-260. How do enter data into Casio calculators? For example, [(8 + 6)(7 - 5)] / (9 - 7) ? Do you enter it number for number? ( entering "[" "(" "8" "+" "6" etc. in that order. )

Yea, you type it in like that, but because of operator precedence,Hmmm. I kindof new to casio graph. calculators, the only one I have is the FX-260. How do enter data into Casio calculators?

(8 + 6)(7 - 5) / (9 - 7)
is sufficient.Some models also have 'natural' input, where you first choose sqare root, fraction etc, and then fill in values, and the calc makes it all pretty, like on paper. That means fewer brackets.

Yeah, here are some pictures of CASIO fx-9860's Natural Textbook Display:
And here's a quote about it from CASIO:
And here's a quote about it from CASIO:
Just like writing in a notebook, fractions, roots, powers and integrals can be input and displayed as written in the textbook. In this way, the Natural Input Display deepens the understandings of the student. Also, it displays the result of the fraction calculation as it is shown in the textbook.

The FX-9860 is arguably the best graphing calculator without a CAS that you can buy. I recommend it without reservation, if you do not need a CAS.

I know that there's emulation software for PC's available out there, but has anyone yet had any luck finding a solution for Macs?

The emulator works under <{GNULINUX}> with Wine. You could try http://sourceforge.n...ojects/darwine/
