Classic Calculators

Classic CalculatorsWhile going through some older photos, I came across this one that I had taken in the Science Museum of two calculators I remember from my childhood.

The Sinclair model on the left was the first calculator I ever saw as my Dad had one. It had an LED display and the buttons made a distinctive ‘click’. It had a while plastic hard case which flipped open. The other, the Casio FX-80, was ‘almost’ the calculator I used throughout secondary school (mine was an FX-81).

It certainly makes you feel older when you see things like this in a museum.
