    The ones at work have += and -= buttons, and work slightly different
    to normal.

    That said, I haven't had a calculator on my desk for a good 15 years.

    Unless you have decided to take on the role of The New Adam and go
    around naming everything on our behalf?

    its original battery.

    I guess you must be a dodgy accountant.

    Heh, the 'first' scientific calculator I had to go to school with was a
    hand me down Commodore one that my dad bought when my eldest sister was
    at school, ~1975. It was LED rather than LCD and took nearly a minute to
    do a sin, cos or tan calculation. Picture here

    I was actually
    quicker with the old log books.

    I found my old Thornton slide rule the other day, the one that had trig
    scales on.

    Plus my old Thornton SeaNav slide rule.

    Oh and my old Airtours CPR-1 Wizz Wheel.

    Thank Ged for calculators and GPS.

    My one and only attempt at being an entrepeneur was to try and corner
    the market in slide rules [1]... just as cheap calculators hit the
    High Street :(

    I still have a few in a box in the loft or somewhere.
