Interesting idea for a calculator (non-HP, non-RPN)
Message #1 Posted by Bruce Bergman on 20 Aug 2010, 3:00 a.m.

Mind you, this is just your basic $10 desk calculator, but it DOES have a very interesting twist to it. I can see this would be very useful if you were routinely calculating numbers and showing people the results. Anyhow, check it out:

Interesting calculator

Thanks,

Good idea for tourist markets throughout the world. Wherever the buyer doesn't understand the language of the seller and the seller doesn't speak the language of the buyer :)

Cool. You can get "ShELL.01L" without having to turn it upside down!

Sorry. : )

Neat.
And it took how many decades for someone to finally think of such a thing on a desk calc?!
