I take it you've never used a 'graphing calculator'? The TI-82, TI-83,
TI-85 and probably other models all do exactly what you describe, and have
been selling 1 per high school student in the USA for some time now...
I always had fun with the Casio FX-7000G, the first graphing calculator from
'85. With a whopping 422 bytes of memory and holds 10 programs with a huge
96x64 pixels display. Mine's a littlle dusty now, but still works. I heard
some schools outlawed these in the beginning cause it was so easy to cheat
;)
