2026-05-26 18:03:54 <Stalevar    > I wonder if PicoCalc is a good investment. On one hand $89 seem like a lot for a display plus keyboard plus case. For example SF2000 of similar complexity is only $20 or even less. At least it has fairly solid plastic shell and display for that price. On other its not easy to find a rootable device with decent enough color screen and keyboard
2026-05-26 18:14:08 <xentrac     > no, calculators are not an investment.  They are guaranteed to decline in value.  They do not yield dividends.  They are an expense.  Gold, silver, stocks, bonds, commodities futures contracts, real estate, and cryptocurrencies are investments.  Calculators are not.

2026-05-26 18:31:57 <Stalevar    > xentrac, I dunno, it can run zeptoforth, so theoretically I can get an RPN calculator
2026-05-26 18:32:32 <Stalevar    > And this thing should probably be better than TI Nspire, HP Prime, Casio something, NumWorks and so on
2026-05-26 18:32:59 <Stalevar    > Because they all are locked down while PicoCalc is not while price is similar
2026-05-26 19:05:07 <xentrac     > sure, but that's irrelevant to whether it's an investment or not.  whatever money you spend on them is mostly money you aren't getting back
