Portability doesn't matter for me. I carry around this giant Nspire CX everywhere.

ha! Well we all have our "thing" - :)

I'm literally in love with it.
Yes. Literally. Literally literally.

I enjoy both.
I have a nice Solar Casio that works amazingly for functions and such. Texas Instruments have also been good to mean, but a little more on the expensive side.

Casio is fine for like... tiny tiny calculations XD I don't like its format and all

I had an old Casio that I got a thrift store and it worked great for me, a little tricky to get the hang of it, but it worked and I needed a calculator. :D

I remember that I had a little 1 dollar calculator. Four function, store-brand. Did the purpose for fifth grader stuff haha. Only thing is, was a flexy silicone thing. It came apart. Actually, I took it apart. I've always liked doing that, being interested in electronics. And I had a tendency to bite things... I'm surprised that thing lasted the entire year, given the amount of times I've gnawed on it XD

TI. Specifically, the TI-86.
Better question, Simpson or Fluke?

Fluke! Definitely Fluke! Fluke is to TI as Simpson is to Casio. Dem Fluke multimeters though... ridiculously expensive. I think I told you at one point I was attracted to a multimeter. It wasn't Fluke--was an Ideal. I still have it, but I'm not in love anymore XD

For what I do, a Simpson 260 is perfect. Flukes don't have the same level of accuracy when you're dealing with tenths of an ohm. The Simpson at the shop is from the mid-1950s. Pre-PCB, even. Still works fine for checking winding lengths.
We also have an ideal armature tester. Don't know when it was made, but it was a post-War model that was discontinued in 1958, according to the manufacturer. Don't know how Ideal is now, but they certainly built tanks back then!

Wow o.o 1/10 ohm accuracy that's insane :o esp for something that old!

Been under a rock? Ha! I've loved TI since I was 10! I'm just asking for public opinion, haha :P
