So I was right after all!

I bought one of these a couple of days ago just to see what it was like (no great loss if I hated the thing, which I do).

First thing that happened as soon as I saw the solar panel/LR44 battery power combo and the keyboard and then pressed the "Mode" key was me blurting out, "FFS, this is a cheap Casio!".

Horrible machine all in all. No contrast on the LCD even when the battery is in.

Ahem... Allow me to demonstrate: https://youtu.be/4F873-zbyM8
