I remember having a talking calculator when I was at school, one of the first I think. For some reason I called it Cuthbert, and as I am not in the habit of giving my gadgets names, I can only imagine it was actually called Cuthbert. Am I raving here or can anyone else remember this? It was great and lasted for years.
