Geek gadgets - Calculators...
Deozaan:
I have a TI-30XA and a TI-86, but only care about them for school.
But I absolutely love my http://Power Calculator on my PC. I typically replace calc.exe with the PowerCalc version on my systems. :-*
Darwin:
I was running the Win7 calc in Vista for a while and usually have the Power Calculator installed as well. However, if I need to calculate anything when I'm on my computer I tend to fire up Excel or, more commonly, reach for a calculator. Somehow it just feels "right" to me, whereas using a computer based calculator leaves me feeling empty :o
J-Mac:
I stole a Bowmar Brain back in 1977 or 78... :P

I hope this digression will be tolerated...
But I absolutely love my http://Power Calculator on my PC.

I really like the past computation info in this and in SpeedCrunch (the latter has the option of a portable install :) ).
Darwin:
Hey Jim - I just picked up a Bowmar 90515 sans power pack. I opened it up, removed the INCREDIBLY corroded original Radio Shack rechargeable powerpack - 3 AA Ni-Cads soldered together - and hacked together a replacement powerpack using alkaline AA's and the thing works!
Kind of cool... I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for a power pack. Once I have that I'll build my own Ni-Cad battery pack and it'll be good to go :)
