CAS on Casio vs HP?

Curious thing is that Algebra FX2.0 runs something like DOS-exes, every icon is and independent exe file. I struggled a lot in the FX2 due the lack of strings, so I remember using arrays with custom printing routines from the screen to handle "vars" with strings.

I have a Casio Algebra FX-2.0 and from memory I remember the CAS being basic (probably no where near the HP Prime?). I got a huge bargain on it from a clearance section at Staples years ago.

This thread has inspired to pull out my FX 2.0 Plus. I think all the CAS operations are limited to one mode, we can't create programs using CAS functions (not 100% sure).

Interestingly, the memory on the FX 2.0 is greater than today's calculators from the Casio line (144K vs. 64K for the Prizm).
