ummm, the oldest Casio calculator I have ever tried is the Fx7500.
I like it, but it's shell design and the keyboard is ... weird.

that's interesting. Thank you for your feedback.
Can you compare with ... say Psion5' or Psion7' keyboard?


p.s.
have you ever seen the Casio LISP calculator?
(Casio AI-1000 Pocket Lisp, made in 1989)
People? Writing LIPS programs on that stuff?
