I probably had nearly a dozen of them since they first came out in the 1980s including a voice-memo model. Not the high end stuff that many of you are interested in, but accurate, rugged, and an amazing array of function before the days of smart-phones. One time in the mountains between Honduras and Guatemala a man approached me with a jar of raw opals and offered to trade them for my Casio. I declined because it was full of phone numbers, pass-codes, and other data I needed in daily life.


OMG I totally forgot about these!! Thanks for the reminder
