There are One Billion Calculators from Casio....
In all the fuss and excitement that was CES, one major milestone seems to have got missed out. Casio have sold their one Billionth calculator. The first (the 001) was launched in 1965, the graphing calculator showed up in 1985 and it seems that the world still can't get enough of them.

ok... I'll own up to 3 (one of them was an upgrade, the other was a replacement for one that I lost)....

So that's only 999999994 to account for
