Poll: Do you still own a stand alone Calculator?

Knew it was about somewhere....

I haven't got a standalone one.
I have a calculator button on my PC keyboard.
Only this morning I did a screengrab of Google Calculator to show somebody how BODMAS works eg 10+2x8=
They argued to the death it was 96

Same as 3+3*3+3= 36 (or 21) brigade.

My Dad has this thing which I remember doing my prinary school homework with in the 90s. I just use my phone or windows calculator though (especially as you can make it stay on top of all other windows which is useful)

edit: old photo so no bright green 5318008 sorry

I had this before I had a calculator:

Still have one, but don't use it.

My kids find it really weird that I can do fairly big multiplications etc using mental arithmetic. Come to think of it, so do some colleagues.

Wholly Molly! That's almost identical to my dad's old calculator. Takes me back seeing that.

Always owned Texas Instruments calculators - I had one that my nan got me for my birthday in the 1990s (TI-80) which was cool and did quadratic equations/graphs and some really advanced maths stuff, but it disappeared during my exams as it may have been deemed OTT or advantageous or basically another pupil nicked it...no word and I never saw it after that. I'm not sure on the rules back then (bring your own calculator?). Currently own a TI-36X solar.

 

[helpimcrap]

Yep, and I can still type 5318008 on it.

I've got a large 'desktop' calculator that I still take to work with me!

If I'm honest, I don't really use it for actual work much, I just like to tap out sums as they occur to me, or simply have it as something to fiddle with.

 

[arc@css]

Not really, I use my phone or some desktop equivalent.

70+ posts into this thread and not 1 mention of a PDA?

In 2002, the PDA replaced the Filofax. I therefore thought it was sensible for the PDA to roll in phone capability. Then Sony-Ericssons rocked along in 2005, then iPhone 2 years later.

Although I do use the Windows calc a lot, I still have a Casio CM-100 "Computer Math Calc" next to me on the desk. It's a bit battered now, but it's been at my side from writing 68000 assembly code in the late 1980s to writing machine learning code in Python today.

 

[Richeh]

Yes probably several but haven't used them in over a decade!

Personally I've always hated the lack of brackets in this context regardless of which method is used or wrong/right.

 

[LeeUK]

I've got a big button one which I use for totting up my savings/bank accounts and a small Sharp one I've had since the 90s.

I was never good enough for a scientific calculator.

Same here, but it is what it is I guess.

 

[Maundie]

I do, it was a life saver when doing my accounts, much easier to use than the one on the PC or mobile phone

I still have one and still remember how to use it. No abacus though!
