Cool. Makes me wonder if anyone has made emulators of the Cassio and the like electronic dictionaries.

Wooooot!

I've got a Casio FX-850P (close enough: a bit less RAM and slightly less powerful processor but most program written for the 850 work on the 870) on my desk. I keep three old devices as witnesses of a (my?) glorious past on my desk at all times:

    - Casio FX-850P
    - ZX Spectrum
    - Atari Portfolio (the one young John Connor uses to hack doors in Terminator 2)
They remind me of what once was and of all the progress (and at times regressions) that's been made.

I'd put more but the rest is too big to comfortably fit on my desk, so they stay in the basement.

Can't say I'm going to use that emulator but it's good to see some love and a few upvotes for that fine machine:
