Now that the fx-991EX has left the building and the CW misses the mark, what would you recommend instead? (anything goes—TI, Sharp, a high priced TAS 991EX, even Canon)

"The Casio Conundrum" sounds like a '60s cold war spy movie, maybe starring Michael Caine!

I'd recommend the fx-9860GIII but I also like the TI-84 Plus CE Python. For me, they're both easy to use and both are loaded with functions. I don't use CAS much but if you do, that's a major consideration. In that case, I'd go with the TI nspire CX II CAS. I'm not crazy about its document-centric OS but it is a very capable machine. While the HP Prime has superior hardware specs to any other calculator, the OS is too buggy for me to recommend it until Moravia does a few more major OS updates. You don't want to be in the middle of a class and have the calculator freeze up requiring a hard reset that will wipe all of its memory!
