I was going through some of my stuff in my desk drawer and found an old Sharp scientific calculator. This is a battery only (non-solar) calculator that I got at a college bookstore about 25 years ago.
Much to my surprise, when turning it in, the calculator still works. Though I haven't used it in that long, I expected the calculator wouldn't turn on after all these years.
If only a battery could last so long in my LCD fever thermometer .
Update: More like about 30 years than 25. I'm older than I think
Oh, here's website down down calculator memory lane.

The model I have is the Sharp EL 506H. The main reason got this (at that time a major purchase for me) was the ability use hex!
