Calculators
-
Does anybody still use them? I do, I have one of These[^] that I use most days. I am sitting in front of a computer all day, but sometimes just reach for this as it is easier than switching apps, plus I can type faster. Who else? (Btw this calc is 13 years old. Original Battery, Never gone wrong and cost £5)

Not for a long time. The math I've done the last few years has either been trivial enough I just Googled it, or complex enough that I needed to work the equations on paper because my calculator doesn't do symbolic algebra.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius

I just use the one on my phone, or do mental arithmetic.

I'm sure we've had this discussion on here before. I don't, but I rarely need to add more than a couple of numbers anymore. If I did then I would try to track one down to use. ie go to the accounts department and steal one. I still have a calculator that my gran bought me when I was at Primary school, probably not far off 30 years ago. It still works, is on its original battery and takes up to a minute to perform the simplest of calculations. My alarm clock radio is also the one I was given for my 8th birthday, and still keeps time perfectly well, although I have not tried using the alarm or the radio for many, many years.

I just switched on my circa-1978 Sharp EL-5808 scientific calculator to make sure it still works. It does. :) /ravi

I don't need to do menial tasks like that. I would just pay a lowly accountant to do it for me. ;P

I've still got my FX-7000G[^] which I do use; though not daily. It is over 20 years old and is on I think the 4th or 5th set of batteries. But it is one powerful calculator! :-D

It's been a long time since I bought one but I still have one of these[^] that I use at least once or twice a month.

Do you mean the moden day series? If so, no. I've watched many or even all of the original classic series. And recently I've been re-watching them on Netflix.

I missed the first one of the first series so didn't bother with the rest. Then I found out it was being repeated recently. Just at the end of the first episode. Bugger.
