There are still fans of a mechanical calculator around.

Adam Savage of Mythbusters fame is one of them.

Adam Savage and I agree about a lot of stuff. We both own Yes watches, for example.

My uncle used to rally against guys who used Curtas. They were made fun of for carrying pepper grinders around but they won a lot. I've been following them off'n'on on eBay for 20 years now and they have yet to come down to my comfort level, but I certainly appreciate them.
