Real Calc vs Emulator - My Experience

[John Galt]

I use emulators too, but I prefer to use a real calculator.

You don't need to find the calculator app
They don't require any sign-in or similar "security"
They stay on for several minutes before going to sleep
It doesn't need to be recharged every day, and the batteries give me plenty of warning before they die
Real buttons, lots of them, and their legends are always visible
I can pretty much throw them across the room without risk of damage

Of course they're not always close at hand, but I'm usually at my desk when I'm working.

Along similar lines of thought I tried using a Kindle as well as various e-book apps, but the experience just didn't sit well with me. I prefer real books, with pages I can turn.
