I hope he's not [1]... I happen to have a Commie pocket calculator in my
basement - dunno if it's what you're looking for (it's *duuuuuusty!* and I
don't think it works well) but I can put digital pix on the 'net in the
next couple days if that'd help...

Shipping or small trade would be all I ask...
