OK A-holes.  It's fixed.  Enjoy the orange links, because I have no fucking idea how to change them.  I basically learned scripting in four days to fix this damned thing. - Andy

I also have a calculator by my desk. 
I can't believe I even know these people. I'm ashamed of my internet life.

I was rushing to get out of work and every time I tried to fix it, it just made it worse.

And because I'm a fucking spastic.

Outdoor / barn cats are cool. Anything that kills in order to pay its way is kind of bad ass.
Indoor / house cats are useless.

But neither compares to Yellow Labs. They are truly one of God's greatest creations.

I also keep a calculator on my desk. When someone is screaming at you to figure out an equation RIGHT FUCKING NOW I'm not going to mess around with the calculator function on a computer.

What does your yellow lab do to pay its way? I ask this as an owner of both a cat and a dog (not a yellow lab, but golden retriever) and am wondering if the dog could be put to better practical use.

Also, I have a calculator by my desk.

I also have a calculator by my desk but would like to point out that TDubbs claims to have an adding machine, a term I associate with men who wear eye-shades and sleeve-garters. my accountant dad, who was born in 1933.

Do you also use carbon paper?'d

Oh and I, too, keep a calculator by my side at work.  Much easier than scrolling around to pull up your desktop calculator and then entering information in another program on your screen.

I use the calculator in my notifications bar, or else I use the calculator on my iPhone.

I'm still bummed out that the power switch (a rocker) on the HP-41CX that I received as a high-school graduation gift finally gave out a couple of years ago.

My first office job involved numeric data entry, so if I switch to the calculator app the entry time for me is pretty much the exact same as a hand calculator, but if I didn't have that ingrained, I would probably have a calculator by my side if I needed to do quick math on a fairly regular basis.

Instead, I'm stuck here at home with my stupid slide rule and abacus.

I think it probably depends on what one values.  I love being mobile (I'm working at Wishbone as I type right now) so having a physical calculator would be a pain in the ass for me (as would carrying around a CD player and an atlas or physical map and a camera and whatever else has been made obsolete by my phone).  But I also almost never print anything, so paper is a waste for me, too.

Having said that, technology should never be a barrier to life but a tool to make it better.  So, if you don't like the idea of a calculator app, who the fuck is anyone to stop you Luddites from enjoying your adding machines.
