Then one day a few years ago, it all started to change. Along came a cute little number called Cal, Cal Culator to be precise. Sure she was a bit bulky, not as good looking as me and her batteries were prone to failure, but she had some big advantages over me. She was deadly accurate, fast and so easy to use, time after time after time and anyone could use her. No special skill was needed.
I'm sure that people really loved me, but I could never compete with that accuracy, speed and simplicity. I could get close, but my users still had to use mental arithmetic. Cal however, she was just spot on every time, oh so quick and easy. As time went by she got lighter and shapelier and colorful and more and more functions and cheaper to buy and her batteries just last and last a long long time.
Man, I was gone, I tried to fight back but I had nothing and I've been out to pasture for quite a few years now, slowly sinking into the sunset . But those clever guys at www.engcom.net have come up with a way to keep the legend alive and have immortalized me with my own web page on their site with an interactive display where you can go and use me, the way I was designed to be used.
So the legend lives on . If you're an old timer and can still remember how to do it, a young timer who is keen to learn or just have an interest, click onto this link and go have a look and a play. The instructions are simple, so give it a try. 

Check out the rest of the site, you're sure to find a whole host of interesting articles.
Have a nice day ya all
