OT Just for fun

Directly from a TAS listing :

The LCD screen shows damage on the far left hand side - you are unable to see the far left hand digit (usually not a problem - how many times do you use an 8 digit number anyway?).

Made me laugh, thought it was worth to share ....
take care Alberto

My HP's all enter numbers in the display from left to right. But I seem to remember some calcs that enter numbers from right to left (such as TI-59). Could that be what the seller meant?

Eheheheh,
actually it was try to minimize the fact that the display had a problem
although you couldsee it from the pics, so it was kinf od fair to the bidders
but it was fun because it reminded me of some car sellers :
the steering wheel is locked, but how often do you steer .... take care Alberto
