   Ron Avitzur at stanford has also written a simple symbolic manuipulator
called Milo, its due to be released in time for MacWorld. It is very nice and
very useful as scratch paper, it can also graph functions (both parametric and
f(x)), and you can paste your resulting graphs and equations into other programs. Its very useful for doing grunge, but its not very good at esoteric stuff
like smart integration etc. (This is for version 0.84 your mileage may very.)
 There used to be a pre-release version on sumex-aim, be forewarned that that
version was very early on and the new release is much better & stable.

 If the street price is less then $200 is qujite definitely worth the money if
only for its equation and graphing facilities.
