maybe these will make people finally realize the truth that should have been apparant when the programmables first came out:  Calcs were NEVER meant for math. 

I personally believe that it will have some sort of BASIC language for it, considering that the lower right hand button has "EXE" on it, if not at least assembler support.
*tloz pictures Project M in color*

EXE is Casio's standard key for execution of commands - similar to "Enter" or "=" on other calculators.  It has nothing specifically to do with programming per se.

lol very true

I use my calc (84+) for math about 5% of the time

the only time I use it for math is when I make a program to brute force something with loops and to check my math. 

A final note, the North American Prizm (fx-CG10) seems to be a bit crippled than the other Prizm (fx-CG20). From what it sounds like, images and movies (in CASIO's g3p format) created on a fx-CG20 cannot be opened on a fx-CG10, unless it was provided by Casio (On Casio's site you can download images/movies from their gallery: http://edu.casio.com/products/cg_series/materials.html) The fx-CG20 can open images and movies from both the fx-CG20 and fx-CG10. This was probably done so it would conform to testing standards in the US.

Exactly.  The images and flipbook-like image collections are of proprietary file types.  This pleases testing agencies and school administrations.

The TI-Nspire used to be 10x worse than it used to be, though.

Why do I feel like I've entered a temporal loop?  (Hey, look, I think I just saw yesterday's today version of myself...)

61 KB RAM seems fairly low and may be a problem for highly advaced games, but that's assuming the unit really has that amount as an absolute maximum. It's possible that there may be additional “hidden” or system RAM that can be used, at least by ASM or apps (assuming they are supported).

Low RAM isn't an insurmountable problem if ASM is supported. Code swapping would allow some incredibly impressive games, particularly if the Archives are utilized.

EDIT: Am I the only person here who uses their calc for math?

Lol bad typo of my part. I meant it used to be 10x in earlier OSes. The earlier OSes drained batteries like crazy. (the new ones still do, but not this much)

Also I am wondering if schools won't try to make Casio not allow custom images to be installed on the calcs? I get worried schools will start banning them when students starts loading porn on their calc

What are maths?
