¬¬¬¬what a bargain!

scientific calculator from Poundland!

does bin,oct and stuff

and it is a good'un

the test is to do 2 / 3 * 15

which is 10 on a good'un but 9.9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 on a not so good un

I mean, blinkin flip, you can't get the batteries for hhhmmm pound sign has gone .... for a pound and there is a tray for it too!!

my first calculator was commodore sr 1800 that cost about # 35 see - pound sign is rogered - that would be about # 300 in today's money.

if it is i before e except after c, then why is it science?

Sounds like you are set up for a US keyboard - that gives a hash for £.
