RE: Most common calculators in the forum?
This poll needs more Sinclairs... here's what I've got, working, not working, and not even a calculator:
Sinclair Scientific (working) Sinclair Scientific (eviscerated) Sinclair Cambridge Type 2 (eviscerated) Sinclair Cambridge Type 3 Commodore PR-100 (programmable) Commodore SR7949 (scientific, 12 digits displaying only 5+2) (eviscerated) Texas TI-57 Programmable (eviscerated) HP-15C Limited Edition HP 35s HP 30b (All HPs still working) Casio fx-115s (just £2) Casio fx-82ms (also a bargain, a modern high school choice) Casio sl-300 (solar, very basic, square root, percent, memory) (All Casios still working) Sharp Scientific from the 70s with some kind of solver (Edit: EL-556D, actually from the 90s it seems) Sharp EL-506P scientific, statistical, number bases Sharp EL-9300 graphical, programmable, statistical (All Sharps still working) Also the kit emulations (hardware and porting by Chris Chung, original software by Eric Smith): NP-25 MSP-430 - TI Datamath 2500 and Sinclair Scientific (These are working) Mechanical: Odhner (a bit broken) Contex sterling adder (a bit broken) 3 slide rules, two at 6" and one at 12" Magic Brain Abacus (two) A few no-name trivial calculators: Solar-only with memory, square root, percent (working) Solar-powered credit card sized (working! From the 1980s) Two with square root, percent, and memory (probably the most-used calculators, both working) A no-name calculator watch (Edit: named Advance) A couple of personal organisers with calculator function: Sharp EL-6320 Memo Master Alarm Aurodis DM320 Organiseur Personnel And, not calculators, but well-loved, handheld, battery powered, and capable of calculation (spreadsheets, OPL programming): Psion 3a (512kB) Psion 3a (1MB) Psion 3mx (2MB) Palm IIIx And what do I use? Usually Google and sometimes awk. Rarely a calculator. |
