Re: Death of a calculator! :-( Message #2 Posted by Olivier TREGER on 9 Jan 2007, 6:01 a.m., in response to message #1 by gileno It's amazing how TV channels have nothing else to show than this kinda crap... Very representative of the level of creativity and the lack of models people can identify themselves.

It's not a priori a complete imbecile that we watch here. Maybe the kid is just one of these rare arithmetics prodigies who do not need a calculator since they outperform any of them and can handle problems a calculator cannot (like the person referred to in the manual to the HP 45). His motorical skills are below the normal standards I would say.

Well, thinking of one or two Ti-30s (and especially a very expensive Jeppesen Pro-Star, manufactured by Ti) that I have owned and hated for their awful, awful, mega-awful keyboards I feel a certain satisfaction watching this video ;-) Greetings, Max
