Christmas present: a 20 year old stylus operated CAS calculator; those days "500KB RAM" and "5.4 MB Flash Memory" were supposed to sway a punter's decision. At least it had a snap-on hard cover.
Not printed on the box: 200MHz SuperH 3 32bit CPU, 160x240 pixel b/w display (66% more than a Gameboy!). It has a Basic interpreter, but who has the patience to program with a stylus?
Geometry mode feals a bit like 1990s CAD systems. All in all a fun toy!
