I had never done any of that, but in middle school everyone thought that it was cool to spell words by turning the calculator upside down.

Surprisingly ... I use my calculator quite a bit for simple equations, (but still very useful).
Ed, I have multiplied and divided by 11 on a calculator before, but not recently.
Garrett, I remember my classmates, making words turning the calculator upside-down. The most popular words being "hello," "goose" and "loose."
