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)

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.

To date my Casio fx-115W S-V.P.A.M. [^] has been the loyal never fail companion. From time to time I'll geek it out and awe friends and foe alike with the Pocket (?) Computer 2 [^] :cool: -- RP

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.

ya, still pull out the old calc to double check my stuff. the one in win7 is good, but sometimes just can't replace the old TI-36X.

I have a 30 year old Boots 425 Scientific[^] with an LED screen which was the recommended one to buy when I was at school. I love it and still use it. Much quicker to use than the one on my phone or pc and has sprung keys that stick out

I use my TI-83 for alot of things, it is great for checking complex modeling equations. I could not do without it I got one I keep in my car and one I keep at home.

I love calculators! I have a small collection including a Casio FX-7000g (advanced scientific graphing), a Casio CFX-9850G (same but in color), and my pride & joy - an HP 41CX with a printer and a mag card reader. And to prove that I'm a complete Nerd, I also have (though no longer use) 2 sliderules, one is six inches long (almost a toy) the other is 20 inches long.
