Have you used your calculator for something that was not really math related?

RE: Have you used your calculator for something that was not really math related?
Going waaaaaaay back to the dialup-of-things era, I used my 48GX to:

1. Program my VCR, including setting it's clock to within a second of my 48GX clock. Very useful for complex programming as well as restoring state after power loss.

2. Note storage; handy in school and during tests. The serial cable made quick work of loading up critical notes.

3. A few games, mostly for the novelty. Although I did play a bit of Lemmings (IIRC). Had there been Sudoku at that time I imagine I'd have played a lot of that.

That 48GX was the best gift my father ever gave me. And [IMHO] one of the finest machines ever created. Still have it.
