Ah, the warm glow of nostalgia and physical interfaces.
I do miss buttons and knobs.

Whoa. I would probably love to have the Casio in my kit. I don’t think I’ve ever said that about a Casio either.
Maybe but probably not. BoingBoing has a thing about a parallel decade called the 19A0s.
ETA: According to Amazon, the Casio is a recent device that’s a bit like a throwback with a USB port added. 19A0s it is.

No, the 19A0’s were a wonderful decade. Many choose to feel it did not exist, but, well… fnord.

I interpreted this as Jan 5, 2019. In my company, we use YYXDD format where X is the numeric month as letter of the alphabet. For example, July being the 7th month would be G, the seventh letter in the alphabet. Why do we do this? It sorts chronologically and eliminates the MMDD vs DDMM confusion that happens when you have both Europeans and Americans working for you. As we also use Dvorak keyboards, it usually only takes 6-8 months for the new guy to get up to speed
