Title: Not what accountants are looking for
Review: When I bought this, I was searching for was a portable adding machine with tape to do taxes on the go. This is not it. The item does feature what it calls 'add mode' but the only thing this mode does is the fix the decimal at 2 places. It does NOT emulate the proper keystroke sequence of an adding machine. If you are doing adding machine style data entry, the final result on the display may be right, but the tape will show the wrong result every time. If you want the tape to be correct, you have to use calculator style entry order. Is it honestly that hard to scale down an adding machine? Not a single accountant at Sharp even tried this product before it went out the door. The keypad action is decent enough, considering the size. It does have the annoying tendency to occasionally and spontaneously issue keystrokes when moved. If you are doing a long calculation, or running a tape, don't move it until you get your final result.
Is the review positive or negative?
