This is the venerable ancestor of all the Casio PB family. It's actually quite amazing to feel that this little buddy runs Basic programs, but apart from that, it's still very limitating to only have 0.8kb memory. The very small screen is not a real problem, on the other hand, because the device is still much more of an advanced 12 digit calculator than a real computer.
Casio actually released the first Casio pocket computer as a FX family device, thus more scientific oriented. The evolution to the PB-100 brings a more "computer" design (QWERTY keyboard mostly) but calculator-limitations are still present...
