12-Digit Calculator, Large Tilt Display, 2-1/3"x3-4/5"x2/5". Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)THIS CALCULATOR, THE COMPUCESSORY CCS02201, IS-- AT 2 1/3" X 3 4/4" X 2/5" SLIGHTLY BIGGER THAN SOME DESKTOP CALCULATORS, BUT NOT AS BIG AS OTHERS.It can easily be held in one's hand, and has many features -- including featuring a full 12 digits -- to recommend it.

The main body is of a pleasing light-grey colour -- the lightest grey, with the tiniest hint of purple.Most of the keyboard has darker grey keus, with a red "on/AC (all clear)" key, and 6 darker grey keys which help one to find the TWO memories this calculator has.Yes, the "Memory Reecall" and "Memory Clear" is combined in one key for each memory -- but what of it?This smallish desktop calculator does have TWO complete, separate memories, for those who want and need them.

The "number window", wherein the digits entered are displayed, is of the more pleasing "picture-frame" variety, which allows the display to be darker and more immediate, rather than the less-desirable "wrap-around wind-shiled", design, which covers the entire top of those other calculators designed with it, making the display seem farther removed, (and often less clearly visible), than the calculators, (such as this calculator), which have the "picture-frame" design on top.The numbers are large and clear, and quite easy to see in just about every lighting condition.The visibility of the numberic display is enhanced by the top part of the calculator being able to be bent down.It is designed with a handy "stop" in the back, so that, if one wishes to return the tilted numeric display back to its original, horizontal position, one CANNOT bend it back too far.(Too many calculators I've owned have sadly been broken that way.)

This calculator, in addition to two full and completely separate memories, also has the sliding "Up, 5/4, Cut", and "F, 3, 2, 0, Add 2", controls.It has a constant key, a CE, (Clear Entry) key, a sign-change key, a percent key, and an "MU" key.The solar battery is contained in a neat little oval in the center of the top of the calculator.It is very calming, at last to me -- as, due to its placement, it reminds me of the "All Seeing Eye" in some far-away Buddhist Monestary, or perhaps even a magic vista into the past and future.Or maybe it could be a simulation(?)(of an idol's jewel, such as those for which Indiana Jones might have searched?Or maybe even Snow White's evil step-mother's mirror?(The idea that mathematicians -- or even would-be mathematicians like myself -- have little or no imagination is completely unfounded: Charles Dodson, who wrote "Alice In Wonderland", was, by profession a mathematician.And mathemeticians today lay the ground-work for space flights, and exploration! They are freer than ever before to use their imaginations --for electronic calculators, such as the one here being
reviewed, have taken just about all the drudge-work out of math!)

Well, I let myself get a bit carroed away there -- but the design of this particular calculator -- light grey, with a "mysterious" solar-cell battery, (in the form of an oval), sitting right there in the middle of the very top of the calculator, does help one's imagination take flight!

Ahem!Getting back to my review.....Another great fature of this calculator is that it has 10, (count 'em -- TEN!) screws on the back, reaching ALL AROUND the calculator.This emans the thje battery, (one L1131 type-battery), is fully replaceable, and one doesn't have to disguard this calculator, (as one must so many others nowadays), when the battry is used up, because there are not enough screws in it, and not screws all around the back of the calculator, and so the back of these other calculators cannot be completely taken off.Not so with this model -- although having a battery compartment open with a sliding motion, and not having to use screw-drivers, would have been so much more convenient!

Like its "junior partner", the quite tiny, 8-digit Compucssory 02186, (not available on Amazon as I write these words -- but I do hope to see it soon!) this larger Compucessory calculator, (model CCS 02201),
will happily take anyone who uses it on a "voyage" of intrigue.A voyage stranger and more wonderful than dreampt of anyone but, perhpas, children. know of.For math, (as Christopher Walken, as Gabrriel, in the chilloing movie, "The Prophecy", said), "contains all the knowledge in the world."Nobody listens to him in that movie....but it IS so true.Any calculator can help you do this, of course...and perhaps scientific calcultors, (for those who know how to use them), more than most.But the calculator here being reviewed, the 12-digit Compucessory CCS 02201, with its centrally placed, beautful and, perhaps mysterioous-looking solar battery, and its host of other features, heretofore described, can -- with its easily pressed keys, and it's mysterious light-grey body -- set you to thinking of all the mysterious places mathematics might take us, more tnan many another calculator can!

A+ in all departments!
