10 key calculators suck

Whoever invented them was a sadist.
I fricking hate hate hate how you have to enter numbers and then have to take action on them after they've been entered.
It can't be simple. Enter 4-2 and the answer is - 2. To enter it correctly, you have to enter: 4+2- to get an answer of 2. How backwards is that.

This. I had a Victor 10-key. Loved it. Spilled coffee on it. Didn't work so well after that. Asked the secretary to get me a new adding machine. She comes back with some crappy casio POS. Had to approve my own request taking money out of my budget to get a new Victor. They ain't cheap, but they are awesome. The have a good "touch" and I automatically know if I hit a wrong number, just by feel. It's the little things, I guess. Or I'm old, spoiled and set in my ways.

10 key calculators and snow blindness in cats are the two key issues no one is talking about....and it scares the living shite out of me.

Switching to my office phone is always an abomination typing in a phone number after using my 10 key a lot

I had to look up what a 10 key calculator is, and it ain't RPN.

RPN is what my HP12C is that I've had since college and still use to this day.
1 (enter) 7 (plus) gives you 8.
Right?

Yes. It's postfix notation; that is, operands precede operators, no equals key, no parentheses.

This is the kind of dry, unadulterated humor that I look for when I come to the O-T. Bravo!
