OK, time to age myself. I was just looking at PCalc on my iPhone. I have the display set to that used by old LED calculator displays. I remember when such calculators first came out, the cool thing was to see what words you could spell out with the display.

For example, 710.77345 would spell SHELL.OIL if you turned the calculator upside down (and used a little imagination…actually not too much. The old LED displays did a pretty good job of spelling!).

I can’t remember other words that we figured out. Anyone out there have some? Perhaps I’ve set myself a little game for the next few days?
