Have you used your calculator for something that was not really math related?

My history with HP calcs started with the same gift from my father as well. Actually, I first got an HP48G using my own savings (it was around $100, my biggest purchase ever), but I gave that one to my sister who seemed to need a graphing calculator more than I did. My father then got me the GX version. That line of calculators was really the pinnacle (IMHO) of the Saturn calculators (here, I mean the real Saturn chip). The HP49 used the real Saturn chip, but its exterior design was such a huge failure in aesthetics and usability.
