when i was in university, i had a solar calculator that would randomly display gibberish upon activation - and by that I mean, when I would go to reach for it after a period of inactivity - and by gibberish, i mean, symbols that have no corresponding character or number that it should be displaying. of course, once you hit clear, it runs fine. but it was pretty bizare.
...if I could somehow manage that, why stop at ON? (tho, at one point of time, it would've been exceedingly helpful to a rather inebriated korean young man and his digicam)
I was also gonna say Ghost in the Shell, but who'd want a cheap calculator as a shell?
There's a ghost in your calculator? Oooh. I once had a calculator where the solar panel was partially broken so if there wasn't quite enough light it would spit out weird answers to rather simple questions like 2 x 85 = -3.05984^56

Or something!
Maybe there's a calculator conspiracy! Schools nationwide perpetuate it! :O! (LOL)

Oh, and you'd have to write your own higher order functions in assembly ;-)
I think it's just a conspiracy about/with your calculator ...

You, on the other hand, get an abacus.
