Reminds me of a time in the 80's when I was in Times Square and bought a walkman off a folding card table that was piled up with merchandise pretty much like this. (minus the powerpuff girl, of course)

jeeff: i wish i could be the operator of one of those.

Peter: 21st Mar 2006 - 19:30 GMT

ive had that song in my head all day after choosing that title, jeeff :)

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: 21st Mar 2006 - 19:50 GMT

But why do I want to be on the Trans Europe Express?

elaine: mr mesmer would like these

jeeff: 22nd Mar 2006 - 17:40 GMT

The 'solar panel' is actually a sheet of inert plastic and serves no other purpose. Can't imagine the cost - even in China - of pressing the hole and hot-gluing the insert was worth the buck or two they got for these. I suppose someone in marketing at the Lucky Goldstar Lead & Puppy Grindery figured they'd sell better that way.

"Lucky Goldstar Lead & Puppy Grindery"

also: i want one of those owl calculators as well. i had a "little professor" as a kid, which was close enough to owl-like:

Amongst the more interesting electronic artifacts in my collection is this Calculator...

Has lighted display like the 'Little Professor'

Another curiosity is this 1980s 'credit card' calculator...
