    Special features :
    The first graphic screen to be used on a financial calculator!
    This device also uses a "trademark" Casio foldable casing that was used for a couple more devices.
    This is a neat little device!
    First of all (and that's a very personal point of view!) i love this foldable casing! Casio used it for a couple more devices (including a scientific programmable calculator and a databank/organizer), and each time, it was for a cool device.
    Second of all (and that's yet another very personal point of view!!) i've sometimes noticed that a "1000" reference in a Casio machine name often means an unusual machine in it's category.
    And this is where the FC-1000 proves me right! The FC-1000 is unusual both in the financial calculators world and in the Casio "FC" family : it is the first graphic financial calculator, with a powerful programming language, and (i've been told) advanced financial functions.
    It also has an "easy" menu navigation system making good use of the 7 keys below the display. How easy it actually is, i couldn't tell, however, because i'm not familiar at all with it's financial features!
    I was glad to find this one, it's a refreshing device in my basically scientifix oriented collection!
