    They still make something very similar to those

    I remember my first digital-LCD I ordered mail order when I was early mid teens

    God bless the people who have scanned in multiple issues of the Argos catalogue! This was £19 in the late 80s

    When I was thirteen on a Friday afternoon we had - I'm honest to god not making this up - we had quadruple Latin. (Through an administrative error me and my mate had got stuck in a class of geniuses who went onto to do things like study computer science at Cambridge) By end the end of the year they were letting me read a book quietly in the corner

    It is definitely representative, but so far, the calculator watch is what I would love to wear as an 80's showpiece - on account that I haven t seen one the weeks in, hmm, forever, whereas the "standard " Casio is still about, in all its resin, silver or good variants.



    I also seen to remember musical Casios, with 7 different tunes plus an eighth which you could make by pressing two buttons simultaneously and repeatedly.

    I have been checking out eBay.co.UK on and off for about a week for a nice retro calculator watch with no luck. Does anyone have one I could borrow?
