This was not a video I thought I would be making but I ended up liking this thing a lot more than I would have guessed!

This is a really cool machine to use. I've never had the chance to use one of these and when I saw it I was immediately drawn to it. Although there was a fair amount of internal conflict over getting an adding machine. I'm very happy with it though.

Here are some great sites with information on these:
