Casio fx-5000F

The Casio fx-5000F calculator was highly underestimated. Although very compact and rather looking like a simple scientific calculator, it is in fact programmable (including texts with capital, small, and greek letters) and has a built-in library of 128 scientific formulas. It was the best mate for school exams in math and physics. Still it seems that this model hasn't been very popular, because I couldn't find much about its history.

This fx-5000F was heavily used in the math and physics advanced courses of my school time. The case looks quite worn, with a lot of scratches and abrasions. The calculator itself is working fine. It was and is still one of my most favorite calculators. I bought a second one in 2005, just in case that one of them should get broken.
