Advantages: Great characters and cleverly structured Disadvantages: The domestic violence bit sticks out like a sore thumb
Gateway, by Frederik Pohl, is very much in the grand tradition of 'hard SF'. Whereas much of what gets put in the science-fiction section of bookshops is actually little more than fantasy with lasers instead of swords, Gateway is part of the Arthur C Clarke, Bradbury and Asimov school that seeks to extrapolate fantastic worlds from real current science, and examines how science and technology could affect the peoples of those worlds.
In the future, Earth is massively over-populated - and starving. Food is synthesised from hydrocarbons, and there's not enough to go around. Life is brutal and grinding poverty is everywhere.
For the bravest, however, there's an incredible opportunity - Gateway. A relic of a vanished super-race, Gateway is a huge space station filled with alien ships. Huge amounts of money are promised to brave ...
Advantages: Tech support Disadvantages: Poor customer support and delivery
declined because I was capable of doing it myself, and I thought it would take longer. I was told I was to have it within 4 days. Yeah right! It was nearly 3 weeks later. In the mean time I had contacted Gateway to ask where it was, and what was going on. I was actually told it had been put on special delivery, and I would get it on Friday. When Friday came I stayed at home all day (I should have been elsewhere) guess what it never came! I wasted a day at home, and gateway didn’t care, I phoned them up and they said it hadn’t even left; so then I was absolutely fuming.
I wrote to Gateway, about all the incidents and they offered my 50p compensation. What in insult, what can I do with 50p?
Other things I don’t like about gateway is they’re ordering tracking system never lets me in even though I have tried it ...

will be some useful functions on these type of calculators (like solving quadratic equation and drawing out graph transformations etc.) that you cannot do on the Casio fx-83EX. But even now, at university, i still keep this calculator as it is so easy to use and has useful functions that you sometimes don't even get on the very expensive calculators!
I would definitely recommend this product!
Another last note is to say that to be honest, you don't even need to bother with the instruction manual as it is so simple to use and it is a commonly used calculator in schools so the teachers are bound to know how to do everything! ...
