A coworker just pointed out to me that the save icon in Inventor looks ike a 3-1/2 floppy disc.
Do they still make those?
You have no idea, Curtis.
I'm so used to this beast that if I have to use a regular calculator - I've got a TI-36 Pro (I think) as well, for FE exam prep that I never seem to have time to work on - it just tears my mind apart. I hate having to use a normal calculator.

No USB power on this one.

My old boss had a surveyor's mechanical calculator - A Curta, I do believe. He was always threatening to put it in a glass-fronted case, along with an Etch-a-sketch, over top of the CAD station - "In case of emergency: break glass."
Here's how the conversation goes among program developers:
"A floppy disc for a save icon? We need to update to this century!"
"And replace it with what icon?"
"Uhhh...."

With a cloud icon, of course. What could be less confusing?
It'll rank right up there with that statue of Arthur Dent summoning a bowl of petunias from thin air.
Ha! I am just old enough to remember 5.25" floppies. First computer my family ever owned, back when we lived in the thriving Metropolis of Nome, Alaska, was an Apple IIC. My Dad bought his first computer game ever - called Broadsides. One day I decided to play it while he was at work (I was probably 6 or 7) and ended up somehow formatting the discs. Long story short, I got negative feedback.
But, fast forward a decade and my parents got me this TI-85 when I was headed to college in 1994. To make sure it wasn't stolen, my Dad engraved my SSN on both the calculator and the cover.
I still use it every day.
