Love this calculator!
At first it was a little tricky to get used to the multiplication and division keys being on the opposite side of what I was accustomed to. Once I got used to it - I LOVED IT! I have fairly large, mildly arthritic hands, and found the keyboard was a good size for me. I run "touch method" and found the key sensitivity to also be "just right"! Unfortunately, after several years of internsive use, my first one no longer operates. Will be heading to Office Depot to pick up a replacement this afternoon. I hope they have the same model in stock!

Depend daily on this product
Could not do without my Sharp calculator. Have tried others and they just don't give me the reliable feeling I get using my Sharp. I can do our many tapes which we need daily for office flow and I don't have to worry as the touch of the keys are exactly right and can add with my eyes closed,Know with this one where all the keys are.

This Caculator has a ribbon for printing
I bought this and had it delivered, I use to have a Sharp EL-1197H II. It seems that is very old from the 70's and has worked great up until now when the paper advance motor stopped. That says a lot for Sharp products, so I was looking to replace it with same. The same model # (as close as I could get) was delivered and the box says right on it "ribbon printer". The description did not say that. I do not like the idea of a ribbon - it seem like old technology to me and I would have to be buying the replacements.
