Casio fx-580
One of the first things I purchased when starting university was a Casio fx-580 calculator. At the time this was an amazing machine because it did complex numbers - something engineers spend a lot of time pondering. I still have it on my desk and use it every day. Over the years, though, the screen had started to fade. That is, at least, until five minutes ago when it was cleaned for the first time in twenty years. And underneath? A shiny - non-faded - screen. Here’s to another twenty years of muck. They don’t make ‘em like they used to.

Hey I had one just like that but broke it so when I lived in USA I bought a newer slinky version of the same thing, it was made in China, I then brought it back to China when I came here to study and take some exams in Shanghai the following year ----via England, I think the calculator has circumnavigated the globe.
