Poll: Do you still own a stand alone Calculator?

[Hagar]

Yes but I will always use my brain first for an approximate solution. Forty years an engineer, a calculator was virtually a graft.

 

[Cleisthenes]

Use one every day I’m working

 

[the-evaluator]

Yep, I have a Casio something-or-other on my desk. The physical buttons making doing simple (though not so simple that I can't do them in my head) calculations quicker than using Excel and easier than using my phone.

You make calculators for a living?

[roccles]

This is a requirement on any new calculator to check its working ok. I even enter the code on other peoples to check for them.

Similar, an accountant

 

[Williammm]

Yes, I use it for work

 

[godinman]

I've got one in the office, sometimes it's handy. I usually use the built-in windows one tho, or my phone if I'm out of the office.

 

[Graetzbridge]

Yes a scientific one and I used it this morning (about 5mins ago) but Im an engineer so it is very useful

I do too and I am also engineer but mostly I use Excel.

 

[DampDog]

Still have my Texas Ti30 in my desk. (Circa early 1980s) Not had a battery replaced in 10-15 years. Still works. I can't count the times I've used it, which is why I keep it handy

I use Excel when I know I will be making the same calculations over and over again but with differing parameters but a calculator is much easier to pick up and use for quick calculations

The farmer up the road from me uses one to work out how many cows he has.

No, sorry, that's a cowculator.

[Malevolence]

Knew I had it somewhere. A Casio Fx-77.

 

[Bagpuss]

Yep somewhere I still have my Sinclair Sovereign calculator, though some buttons are getting a bit ropey and getting batteries is a pain.

 

[JamesH85]

Yup, I own two. One in my overalls at work, always carry it with me as im a machinist. Other in my toolbox at home, both scientific.

 

[A2Z]

No, why would anyone on Earth still own one when everyone mobile phone has a calculator.

 

[Richie]

No, why would anyone on Earth still own one when everyone mobile phone has a calculator.

Because they may still have one before they used the mobile phone one?

Some of us aren't foetuses you know
