The Last Quiet Thing

Your possessions came alive. Now they won't stop talking.

@tg Great piece. Great.

I acquired a 50year old Casio fx-102 scientific calculator off eBay a few weeks ago, bought to simplify a small part of my workday. It has no persistent history and cannot be programmed.

The keys are larger than my other calculators', the display has larger digits, it suits my GEN-X self (and eyes) down to the ground.

It'd probably be pretentious to say it grounds me, so I won't. :)

Thanks, it looks like I've a little further to go.
