Oh Boy, Oh Boy! I hope I get the Rolls Royce Trent Series Turbofan I’ve been wishing for! But with my luck it’ll be the GE CF6.

RIP Billy the Calculator (2010-2012)
He was a good calculator who served me well through my physics and maths exams. It saddened me to see his buttons stop responding as he progressed through his steady decline.
He will sorely be missed :( x

Shortly before my maths test the other day I bought an $11 basic calculator to use cause I didn’t have one with me and I figured it was probably a good idea to have a calculator in a maths test. First thing I see when I walk into the room:
no calculators
$11 well spent -_-

Calculators at school cost $50 D:

It is only a basic one, with no scientific functions. It is also orange.

I understand your pain, I could never get over the loss of any of my calculators, especially my day to day 1987 HP 32SII, but she’s still chuggin’ with 25 years of service under her belt!

Check out who I parked next to!
A 1956 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud (I think…)
I feel like an escort to the Queen.
