Cool!


Never heard of the calculator before. I'd love to see a picture of it.

I recall I made an mechanical addition machine for numbers up to 50 (or was
it 40?) when I was in my early teens. So Tyco wasn't first. :o)

BTW, I've bought an alarm clock by the Leading Brand.

I recently acquired one of these via eBay, and I'd have to say it's every
bit as cool as the legendary phone.  It's in the same green-and-black scheme
and has the same brick drawer for important storage.  It's just a basic
eight-digit display and no trig functions, but I actually like the
calculator more than the phone; I can use the calculator at work, whereas
the phone isn't compatible with my workplace's system.
Does anyone else have this?  I have a feeling that it's less common than
the phone, or at least less commonly auctioned than the phone.
