One can't reach any real conclusions about what people own and use, based solely on the above replies, due to the evolving nature of the thread.

I was surprised to discover that not everyone means the same thing when they say they use some calculator. I thought using a calculator meant using it at work, or to do your taxes, or whatever, but apparently, some people consider writing a program because of some challenge to be using their calculator, while I would call that playing with my calculator.

I know collectors who have hundreds of calculators. None of them even have batteries in them! I'd consider using a calculator to mean turning it on and doing something with it whether that something is for work or recreation.
