...Are these calculators owned solely by Cambridge University students? I don't know, but I can say that I disagree with the previous reviewer's assessment of the calculator.
For anyone still using a scientific calculator without Casio's Visually Perfect Algebraic Method (V.P.A.M.) (or, I assume, the Sharp/Sony/etc. equivalent...) I would heartily recommend an upgrade. The ability to enter formulae and expressions just as you'd write them on paper (as opposed to in a bizarre order that makes sense only to a computer) greatly simplifies basic calculator functions and reduces the chance of errors. In addition, the fx-115W allows you to go back and edit the previously-calculated expression.
As you'd expect, the calculator features a full range of mathematical and statistical functions and short of full graphical functionality, I haven...

Advantages: Cambridge Students MUST use this calculator - only one allowed in exams Disadvantages: Is awkward to use in my opinion, only use it because I have to

Besides, unless you do a lot of it at work, shredding is fun! Enjoy it!
To give an indication of its capabilities, you can feed four folded sheets of A4 into it at any one time, but be kind. It does get hot after a while and will stop when it needs a break/time to cool down. This is only after continued use (say, 15-20 minutes of non-stop shredding). I imagine that this acts to help extend the life of the shredder, so I'm not complaining. However, it can...
