OT: any opinions on Casio FC-100V ? Message #1 Posted by Iuri Wickert on 22 Feb 2005, 10:54 p.m. Hello I'm searching for a financial calculator for Financial Math and Actuarial (sp?) Math undergrad classes. Is this new Casio financial calculator worthwhile? Anyone's been using it? It compares favourably with HP12C/P and TI BAII? I haven't found a link to download its manual... Best regards Iuri Wickert

Where have you seen one for sale? Message #2 Posted by Gene on 22 Feb 2005, 11:12 p.m., in response to message #1 by Iuri Wickert I'd like to get the 100V and 200V. If anyone knows where they are available, please let me know. Gene Wright

Re: Where have you seen one for sale? Message #3 Posted by Iuri Wickert on 23 Feb 2005, 1:10 a.m., in response to message #2 by Gene Hi Gene It's available in Brazil: http://busca.americanas.com.br/procura.asp?id=10655&raiz=5359&kw=calculadora Compare the prices... The Aurora can be found at R$190,00. On the "street market" the HP12CP costs about R$300,00; I'll check the Casio price on the street... The TI BAII shown is the old one (the pictures is correct, that's why I'm afraid to buy it). US$1,00 = R$2,60

Anywhere in the US? I'd really like to get a 100V Message #4 Posted by Gene on 23 Feb 2005, 9:12 a.m., in response to message #3 by Iuri Wickert Perhaps I'll check the australia location that seems to have them. Wonder what shipping would be? :-)

Re: Anywhere in the US? I'd really like to get a 100V Message #5 Posted by Martin on 23 Feb 2005, 5:49 p.m., in response to message #4 by Gene You can get the FC100v in the UK at Classic Calculators http://tinyurl.com/48yz4 They also sell the Aurora FN1000

Re: Anywhere in the US? I'd really like to get a 100V Message #6 Posted by GE (France) on 23 Feb 2005, 6:27 p.m., in response to message #5 by Martin The 100V is available in France. If you want a new, unopened one, I can purchase it andsend it your way, at cost (with receipt and including shipping). No idea about the dealer's price.

Re: Anywhere in the US? I'd really like to get a 100V Message #7 Posted by Jed Law on 8 Mar 2005, 4:35 a.m., in response to message #6 by GE (France) I bought a Casio FC-100V at my local Uni in Queensland Australia for AUD$80. Pity the instructions seem to be lacking.

Re: OT: any opinions on Casio FC-100V ? Message #8 Posted by Bernardo Vargas on 1 Mar 2005, 7:05 a.m., in response to message #1 by Iuri Wickert CASIO & TI PEOPLE GO HOME!!!! Just a joke. = ) Actually, I started as a TI user (I still have my TI55II from 1982), but then I saw the light and got me a HP11C, the most practical calculator ever made. But I DO really hate Casios!!!!! @Iuri: the HP12C is a very nice machine; get yourself one. I used mine very successfully to solve some linear programming and decision theory problems.
