Poll: Do you still own a stand alone Calculator?

[Freakbro]

Calling it, you're an accountant

Yep

or an old person.

....maybe....

 

[Efour]

Think there's 1 in a drawer somewhere.

 

[Stu999]

No. Use the calculators on my work and personal computers and phone often though.

 

[Tom_ed1987]

Yes a scientific one. Sitting next to it & It's simply better and faster than finding an app on phone or opening one on PC.

 

[Bluecube]

No but I’m just about to buy one after being reminded how useful they are

 

[GreatAuk]

Think I have three actually, all from school / uni. Not used any of them in about 6 months though.

If doing a bunch of sums by hand they are a lot nicer to use than a phone, and easier to 'multitask' with if you're doing something else with your pc / phone at the same time.

Not used any of the 'scientific' functions in years though.

After this thread I might dig one of them out and put it on my desk actually

Yes still have an old Casio scientific one with a few steps of programmability. Rarely gets used.
Now being an AutoHotKeys person, I do of course have calc.exe mapped to Crtl+Alt+= but even with all the modes it is a bit limited. That silly minimalist UI fashion thing were rather than all bells in whistles it defaults to a simple mode.

 

[Jokester]

I’ve got a Casio scientific/graphic jobby, last time I used it was for a FS exam 5 years ago.

 

[ttaskmaster]

Casio H-1 electronic, with green VFD display, from 1981. Used almost daily.

 

[BUDFORCE]

Yea for work I have one.

 

[Chuk_Chuk]

Out of curiosity how many people have just replaced their calculator use with excel?

For me if I can’t do the sum in my head I will either go to excel or maybe google.

 

[DXP55]

Got a few old calculators and still got my slide rule from when I used to make the tea in a architects office. Now that was a long time ago.

 

[Lopéz]

Yes, I have one somewhere. It's all pale greys and lilacs, like a SNES. Pretty much the only reason I haven't chucked it.

 

[Stu999]

Does it run Doom?

 

[ttaskmaster]

Out of curiosity how many people have just replaced their calculator use with excel?

Only if it's open at the time.
Too much faff, otherwise.

 

[Freefaller]

Yep I have a scientific one. I use it daily actually thinking about it. It's easier to use than excel.

 

[{SAS}TB]

I have a big button one I use pretty much daily

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Voted no but probably have one somewhere, just haven't used it for 5318008 years.

 

[NickK]

Bought a casio fx-991ex for the reason it copes with sci and eng notations better than the iphone or the searxh bar on the mac.
Beyond that it’s octave/matlab or grapher (osx app).

The mrs uses another form of the casio that seems to work for tax accountancy.

 

[bainbridge]

I use an abacus.
