        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)

        Yes, I use my TI-84+ quite regularly. Partly, I suspect, because I have it right here on my desk, so it's easy to grab it and calculate something like 22-7 (yes, I know) or factor(1729) (not a standard function) Faster than going to wolfram alpha..

          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

                    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

                          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.

                                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.

                                      Yes! Quite looking forward to it. Found this on an L.A. -> Sydney Qantas flight in 2009. Upon returning, I was very pleased to see our PBS station was carrying it a few weeks later. I hope they will pick up the newer episodes as well.

                                        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)

                                        I have a cheap solar-powered handheld that I use every day. I'd be lost without it.

                                          Yes, I do. My main honey is an HP-48GX[^], I had to replace the HP-48SX[^] that some lowlife stole from my cubicle. I had an HP-67[^], but sold it, and later bought each model of the HP-41 series (HP-41C[^], HP-41V[^], HP-41X[^]). I still have my HP-41X and have almost all the peripherals for it (direct connect printer, HP-IL printer, HP-IL interface, card reader[^], HP-2225B HP-IL ThinkJet, 82163A video interface, 82164A HP-IL/RS-232C serial interface, 82165A HP-IL/GPIO parallel interface, 3468A multimeter, digital scope, 82161A tape drive, HP-9114B 3-1/2" floppy drive(s), barcode reader wand) And I still have my HP-65[^], programmed that little beastie to death. During my Apple II days and when I programmed conveyor controls, I used my HP-16C programmer's calculator[^] (actually I have two of them, one for home and one for work). And then someone gave me an HP-75C[^], which is a borderline calculator the speaks HP-BASIC.
