A little splash on my desktop
By Linda Amstutz on
I was walking through Staples, on my way to the paper department, when a splash of color caught my eye -- more accurately, a bin of colored splashes. Calculators shaped like splashes. They are called Splat Calculators and you can tell whoever named them didn't have a vivid imagination since even an idiot can see they look like a splat.
I bought a blue one, anyway. I thought it would be fun to see a splash of blue on my desk. Might make me more productive. Might make balancing the checkbook easier. Might bring a smile to my worn face. And it did!
The numbers are fun to punch. They are soft and rubbery and make math fun! Turn it on with a touch and you have 8 digits to reckon with, along with the usual function keys, like X, %, MRC, M+, M-, -, +, =.
The only problem for me has been that the = key is where my old calculator housed its + key. That means I keep hitting "total" when I think I am pressing "plus." Once I get used to that, this will be the perfect calculator for me.
It may not do High Math, but it sure does High Fashion. And that's what I want on my desk!
Cute! That looks like fun....i want one!
I actually picked on of these up and looked at it on my last trip to Staples. They look like so much fun! But I don't have desk space for it, and I don't care for those rubbery keys. But it definitely made me smile!
What a fun calculator! I think it's so cute. I'm not sure I would like the texture ...I prefer the harder plastic ones since we use it at work. I would think it would become a great conversation piece!
I Have Never Seen One Of These Calculaters. I Do Like That It's Different And Comes In Other Colors. I Think It Would Be A Great Gift For A Child Who Likes Math! Thanks For Sharing!
Sounds like a neat little item, especially for the price! Perfect stocking, etc.
I don't know if anything could make math fun for me lol. But this is so cute! It really stands out. I'm glad you are able to enjoy it so much.
This looks and sounds very cool. I love to design of the calculator. Thanks for the great information.
I love this caculator how cute! Love the fact that it comes in different colors. And the price is great. Thanks for sharing.
What a fun-looking thing! Definitely an eye catcher. :)
