If you're on a good thing, stick to it? What do you think about
transhumanism then?
I believe (although I don't practice as much as I would like) in early
adoption of technology. Hanging on to the old for security reasons just
addresses the symptoms of the issue, not the cause.
Can't you find a more modern calculator that does the same job as the old
one, plus more? Assuming that you can but choose not to, why would you not
want to use more advanced calculator features?
cheers,
Simon
