Title: Vintage Technology
Post by: TehBorken on May 09 06 09:19
   Awesome collection of old-tech calculators- over 500 of them. (Check out [a href="http://www.vintage-technology.info/pages/calculators/general/calccompany.htm"]this link[/a].)
I remember when these things were $400 or more. What great nostalgic eye-candy!

I checked out the link and I've got the one from Radio Shack on my desk right now.  It still works, too.  It operates on batteries or electricity.

Now what is it that we're supposed to do with those things again?

Save them long enough and we'll eventually be able to sell them as antiques - at more than their original price.
