In summary, the conversation is about someone wanting to buy a new calculator and asking for recommendations between the Texas TI89 and Casio Classpad 330. An electrical engineer recommends the TI-89, specifically the titanium edition, for its additional keys and the included program EEPro for electrical calculations. They also mention that TI products are generally better built. One person asks if anyone still uses dedicated pocket calculators, as they do their calculations on their PC or mentally. The conversation ends with someone asking what program the person uses on their PC.

I can personally recommend the TI-89, but I haven't used the other product. The TI-89 has a lot more keys, which I can't imagine doing without.

I Would definitely recommend the TI-89... specifically the titanium edition. the main advantage would be the program EEPro that is included with it. very useful for any electrical calculations. I'm not sure how it compares to Casio, but from past experience TI products are much better built.

Do any of you guys still really use dedicated pocket calculators? I find myself doing all my math via PC, mentally, or using my iPod touch. It's quite rare that I ever use my TI89 any more.

I do my calculation on my ti-89 mainly because I don't own a laptop and am not always at a computer, but out of curiosity. What program do you use on your pc?
