The actuel Prime future...

I think it was last fall maybe that I saw a 50g at a BestBuy. It's price was NOT $90, but $150. I had previously ordered one in the winter for c. $95 from Amazon and at that time they were NOT to be found in ANY store.

IIRC they were no HPs at all in any of the stores, just Casios and TIs.

I haven't been to any store that might even have a slim chance of carrying a higher end calc, but I will tell you this, they WILL be priced @ (or very close to) whatever the MSRP is -> usually MUCH cheaper ordering online.

FX-CP400: yes, it's available in the US, but again, just not seen in any stores. Hell I've yet to even see a CX CAS in a store.

TI-83+/84+: HTF do they get away selling 1980s(have they changed the firmware on those much since then?) tech for more than I can order a 50g(c. $90 now online) or a Prime(c. $115 now)?
