I'm ordering this calculator as a replacement for the EL-334MB that my kids spilled soda pop on and gummed up the keys. Prior to that, the little dear functioned beautifully, was a replacement itself for a similar Casio and a no-name cheapy purchased at the drug store. Neither of those measured up to my day-to-day use. Goodness knows, I've owned dozens of calculators over the years, and in every case have had one reason or another to dislike them all. The Sharp EL-334MB was different. I loved using it and it became a sort of pet of mine, so when Matt's ginger ale toppled over onto it, I heaved a sigh and immediately began to plan where to get another one. The local Office Max didn't have it (that's where I got the first one) but Amazon did, thank goodness. Some notable good points: Nice size, keys feel good, attractive, always works regardless of ambient light, nice big display, has that handy "00" key that I've used a lot more than I would have guessed, doesn't need batteries, and the keys are intelligently arranged. I just really got used to it and was very happy with it. I highly recommend this calculator.

3.0 out of 5 stars Photo is NOT what you get - view my uploaded photo, January 24, 2009

The calculator photo shown by Amazon IS NOT what this product looks like - not even close! If you want to see what it really looks like, then hover your mouse over the PHOTO that I uploaded. ALSO, if you zoom into Amazon's photo, you'll notice the model number is NOT an EL-334MB. If you search the Internet for the model number shown in that photo, you'll learn it does not exist, not even on Sharp's website.

I consider a calculator that is 1960's style out of date and ugly as sin. This thing is 3/4 of an inch thick! It's the same thickness as a wood board (eg:1"x4")at Home Depot.

I don't know about you, but I depend on these photos as being an accurate representation of what I'm buying. Well, this was far from accurate and you'll find out for yourself if you buy one.

As a last note, Amazon does a fantastic job in many areas - selection, price, product information, and especially customer service. After 110 orders in the last 8 months, delivery is always on time so thanks Amazon! I'll keep bragging about you.

Cheers,
Jeff

4.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for Gary Starr Method Rallyists, February 18, 2008

If you're looking for a calculator to use with the "Gary Starr" method of calculating on TSD rallies, this is a good choice. The buttons are large but have a soft touch, so they may be prone to accidental entry (or deletion!). Values entered in memory are retained even when the calculator shuts off, which happens automatically after about 7 minutes. If you press + MR =, the value in memory will continue to be added each time you press =. It's a large calculator, about 4.5 x 6.5 inches, so make sure you have room on your clipboard.
