Maybe off subject a bit, but I found this old SYNAPSE mag article a few years back, about using a Novus Mathematician to create electronic music through an AM radio.

This is a little calculator/calender/ etc. 
It is made of transparent golden plastic about 1 1/2 by 2 1/2  by 7/16 inches. 
There is a 1 1/2 by 1 1/4  inch screen. 
You almost need a magnifying glass to read some of it 
There is a small chain that attaches to your bag or whatever. 
 
I found it in a drawer, replaced the battery, and managed to turn it on. 
The calculator appears to be working ok. If I set the year to 81 it matches 
the current calender.  There are obviously many other features that I can't  
quite figure out. 

When I  took it in to the local store, they couldn't find anything about it. 
I  haven't had any luck finding any more about it. 

I sure would appreciate a manual or sheet of instructions. 

Any suggetions? 

DonW
