I had an E-105 w/Calligrapher. I thought it'd be really good.
G'nasty. My HR is pretty bad, but my 2100 still gets a good
95%-98% of it. Calligrapher had two problems. Well, one that
was it's fault anyway. I don't believe it did a dictionary
check as the Newton does, so more often than not, you'd
get some interesting language. It could NOT distinguish
between sections the required numerical or alphabetical
input. Blech. The other problem was the screen was much more
sensitive on an E-105 (don't know about the newer Casio's)...
your hand couldn't rest or touch the screen at all or it'd get
thrown off even more. I tried another program (ART-Rec) with
mixed results.

I loved my Casio. Some incredible games. A really awesome
Bible program from Laridian. But too many other limitations
for what I need.
