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)

All the time, I keep one of these[^] within easy reach at my desk.

Not quite as old but I once used one of these[^] and it's bigger brother[^].

My girlfriend would bring her financial calculator everywhere back when she worked in real estate (easy mortgage amortization calculating).

When I was working on accounting software I had a separate calculator. When I needed to make sure a transaction tied out, it was nice to just be able to reach over and start typing rather than try to use calc.exe. I left that calculator when I left that job and haven't missed it...

At work I have a cheap one for quick calculations. At home I have a HP11 that I have had for around 20 years. Except when I forget to use reverse Polish it is great.

I have a solar powered calculator in my flight bag. Much easier to use than the tools they suggest using for calculating time and distance.
Need custom software developed? I do custom programming based primarily on MS tools with an emphasis on C# development and consulting. I also do Android Programming as I find it a refreshing break from the MS. "And they, since they Were not the one dead, turned to their affairs" -- Robert Frost

Yes, I use one of these. I also have a TI-83+, but I haven't really used it since college (sometimes I use calc.exe).

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

on occasion, however my smartphone has calc function on it. just depends on where I am what I'm doing.

I still have an original Casio CQ-81, that is 33 years old (2nd or 3rd battery, tho). It can do time calculations! [Casio CQ-81]

Casio fx-5000F, bought it in 1989 because the Assembly teacher said we'd need a calculator that did base 16. It's on its third set of batteries. But for everyday use I use my Casio watch. The one on the phone is a PITA.

That's silly... Gotta be able to change old habits! - Windows+R calc. - Or a small app on W7 gadgets for more adanced stuff... - Or I'll just compile some code and write out the result..

Sure. I still have my trusty Sharp programmer's calculator that I bought to do octal math back in the mid 80's when I worked for Control Data. It even does hex math but I didn't have a use for it back then. I think it cost me $25 at the time. The best hardware investment I ever made.
