I am a long-time user of DERIVE and chose it because of its ease of use.
Students can pickup workable keystokes in a two -hour session.

Now, I am headed toward the TI-92. It is very easy to use. In fact, my
department is working on a curriculum project around the TI-92 in preclculus
and calculus. Instead of a student paying $90 for a TI-85 adn $90 for a
textbook, we are going to given them a 200-page handout and ask them to buy a
$165 calculator.

The program is just in the emryo stage with implementation planned for the Fall
of 1998 but I am interested to see what others are doing.
