Hi guys
Just wondering for those who have the ClassPad 300 / 330...
Do you regard it as a good learning tool?

Better than a traditional graphing calc?
If yours died, would you buy another just like it or buy a more traditional graphing calc (non-touchscreen)?

My aims are a bit vague. I just want to get back into mathematics (I am not in school) and want a good (reliable) device by my side to help me go through some texts (right now re-learning trigonometry). I don't know where exactly I'll stop, but I want to learn more visually and practically at my own pace, and am curious if the ClassPad would be better than other graphing calcs (9860G, Ti-89, etc) in this regard.

Has it helped you and/or enhanced your understanding more than a regular graphing calc could?
Thanks for your thoughts.

Phew. It's gonna take me a while to digest all the responses

From another thread it appears both the ClassPad and regular graphing calculators have advantages and disadvantages. 

I'm still unsure which to buy, but I have a feeling the ClassPad might be more helpful for me.
