What ever happened to.....

What ever happened to calculator watches. They were all the rage then nothing! The power of a computer on your wrist...and stylish too!

Heres an old school with a metal band:


I only ask because I saw someone wearing one yesterday. I won't say the country of origin nor their occupation but it brought me back

 

i used to own one of these - a casio... many years ago...

 

I want one again...

Retro cooooooooolllllll.

 

I had one in primary school. How I loved that watch.

 

The most fun watch I had was the TV remote one...

A whole bunch of us had them.

We used to piss off our teachers off so much with those things

 

Thats the best because they are like 10 times the size of your wrist. Its like you are controlling the Space Shuttle or something

 

That brings up another toy when in school that brought endless fun. The universal remote.

Make the teacher think the power went out when you are watching a special presentation.

Poor teachers already had troouble working a VCR, then add a kid with a universal remote to the mix

 

They were banned at my elementary school because people were using them to cheat at math.

 

I had a calculator watch, but I think the buttons all fell out. I seem to remember wanted a Pacman watch with a little joystick on the front of it. I wonder if they actually existed?

goes off to look

 

You are in elementary school and are already an Affiliate Manager???

Man, did I start out late in life.

Before you know it we will have preschoolers debugging Coop Code

 

When I was in grade school my calculator watch had a racing game on it. I got so good I had to crash on purpose to end the game after about an hour or so...

 

haha, I had one that was an analog watch and the face flipped up and there was a calculator underneath it... it did make math tests more fun

 

What ever happened to white dogshit? thats what I want to know... It used to be everywhere (in the UK atleast) - not anymore

 

I got rid of my calculator watch when I bought my first computer.. the zx81

Wow! What a piece of machinery was that!

 

My first real computer was a Commodore 64 - I also had a Vic 20 although I can't remember which I got first.

It didn't fit on my wrist though. You could make the tape drive into a stylish purse if you were female.

 

Yeah you're right... I never see that anymore...

I wonder why?

 

Yeah, you need to get on the ball. By 5th grade I hope to own the company

 

I think the white turds stop occuring when there was a change in the worming pill formular or something in the dog food.

I think. I'm not sure though.

 

Or maybe more people pick up the crap up after their dogs these days do it doesn't have a chance to go white...

 

Yep, that works for me.

I had a dog walking business last year. I saw a lot of crap in that time. One thing really GOT MY GOAT. And that was people that would pick up the doggy poo in the doggy poo bag AND THEN LOB IN INTO A NEARBY BUSH where it would just hang there. For god's sake, if you're going to do that then why not just leave it on the ground where at least nature has a chance to get rid of it for you.

Gah.
