I'd be curious to hear opinions and comments.
My soon-to-be 8th grader will be needing a better calculator than the basic TI she's got now, and I'm thinking about moving her to the Inspire (or TI-84 at a minimum). I've tried to get her interested in HP calcs, even the non-RPN models, but I just don't think it's going to pass on to my next generation. ;-)
Oh well. Anyhow, it's a toss up now whether to look at an Inspire/TI-84, or consider the ClassPad (and I generally much prefer Casio as a second choice, rather than TI).
Thoughts?

(BTW, I do NOT want to restart the whole debate about TI calcs and teaching kids to use HP and whatever. I've been on these forums for 10 years, so I've heard it all before and I GET it. I want her to use HP as much as anyone. Just won't happen...)
