A fitting choice for an LGR novelty calculator if I do say so myself :)
LGR
Right? The sun could run out of juice anytime now.
LGR
Oh man, too many novelty calculators to count. But this is my only one! And it's the only one I need, heh.
LGR
True that! Why waste valuable memory when you have this!
LGR
I am floppy disk, hear me roar.

I would only use the kind with the lions on them to show everyone my tech prowess! :p

That is such a weird little promotional item. Can always just leave it sitting half inserted in the drive, ready for when you need that quick bit of calculation when playing a DOS game and can't have a TSR-based calculator ready for action! :)

I sense you doing a calculator collection video sometime in the future... this video now makes me wonder how many novelty calculators are out there!

Good thing it turns off when you close the cover, don't want to waste any solar power.
LGR
They show up on Ebay every so often, good luck!
LGR
Haha, everyone's been sending me this! I really wanna try that.
LGR
No problem!
LGR
Too geeky even for a 386.. pretty geeky indeed!
LGR
It's weird to think about. I always try to include a tiny bit of info about what a floppy disk ACTUALLY IS in these videos just in case!
LGR
Fantastically snarky, haha. Love it.

Clint, check out the Numberphile calculator unboxings. I think they'll be right up your alley <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaJtjJNrWf0" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaJtjJNrWf0</a>

Share? You mean you can copy this to other floppy drives?
Øyvind Hvidsten
BOOBIES!

1:14, 1:15, 2:44 - Obligatory. Also: Awesome. And I feel old knowing that there are legitimately many people who have never seen nor used these before outside of the save icon.

The computer can't handle the sheer geeky nerditude of that floppy calculator... XD

Very cool. Thanks for sharing it.

But can it hold 128GB? <a href="http://www.geek.com/chips/hardware-hack-puts-128gb-of-storage-into-a-floppy-disk-1648412/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.geek.com/chips/hardware-hack-puts-128gb-of-storage-into-a-floppy-disk-1648412/</a>
