Sharp EL-501V

Found my old grade school calculator while going through some drawers. It's not programmable or retro (yet) or valuable, but it served me well for many, many years.

Pretty sure I learned the pattern for incrementing binary numbers on this thing while I was sitting bored in study hall before I even knew what binary was.

That is definitely a well used little device! Coincidentally, the last calculator that I bought a couple of months ago is the EL-501X2, the most recent iteration of the model. Not a bad little calculator as long as you stay away from the edge cases! The edge cases are where the fun stuff is for me, cause I really like finding out where these machines tip over.
