During most part of 1980s and 1990s, it was the Swiss Army knife-like Data Bank timepiece Casio was famous for. Predates PDA, cellphone, and UMPC, Casio Data Bank was all you needed for calculation, simple personal data management, and phone number storage. It was the must have for EVERYONE from Japanese gadget-obsessed trend-geeks to the average whiteboy from the burbs.
