I have always considered it a stretch to call a calculator a "Sliderule Calculator" when it does not include any Trig or Log functions. The TI SR-10 is a good example of this marketing term used with a fairly basic calculator.

But that is not what is in evidence. :-(

This reminds me of you first digital camera. The box called it a "filmless digital camera." I guess people didn't know what a "digital camera" was. Did it write bits on the film?

I am always amazed when mis-spellings slip through into production.

In this case, the murdered word is "curciut" on the box. I guess it was supposed to be "circuit."

Wow. That's a beauty!

We should ask our French colleagues how they would translate "cur cuit".
Maybe a burn-in test has been performed on the heart of this calculatrice Wink
