Dad handed over this beast to me
Casio PB-100
RAM: 1KB
ROM: 10KB
CPU: 455KHz
Display: 12 characters Monochrome

It's hard to believe that someone used this to code back in those days. Suppose to have been one of the first personal handheld computers. And people here complain about having 32gb RAM with 8 cores shame on you all

    @karma Nevermind, I found one and it turns out it's just a regular old scientific calculator that just looks very similar to this. Disappointed...

    Guess it doesn't look that similar. That "battery replacement date" sticker though. No wonder it doesn't turn on.
    Also, somebody took it apart, lost all the screws, and now the whole thing is held together using 20 year old clear tape. Wow.
