Was huge here too.

My post is a calculator.

Your post is a spelling device that talks to you.

Apples and oranges.

At least you didn't discuss shit.

Actually it was kind of like a calculator in reverse, you would be shown a problem and have to provide the answer. The difficulty got harder as you went up 'levels'.

Texas Instruments made a bucketload on these but not as much as they lost by not keeping the TI series of professional calculators up to date, allowing HP to overtake them in the professional calculator market, once the HP 41 was released, TI had basically lost all ground in the calculator wars.

I taught my classmates to spell BOOBS on it - 5p a go - Recurring at 45p a month + cross sales...

Things never change - New content was the biggest problem.....

There are at least 251 words you can spell upside down on a 7 segment display calculator.

251 words you can spell with a calculator. « Present&Correct
