Ah, the 10 key calculator. Too funny. I had one on my desk as well, but rarely used it. I didn't stick mine in a cabinet, I just left it on my desk to gather the dust. It was noisy, but you could turn off the print function.

I am glad you were able to make the very needed changes within the organization. Seems like change was needed to improve the daily operations. It's great that the company was open and welcomed space for your growth.
