I am not a native speaker and terrible at googling this, but I've once heard that 電腦 was originally the Taiwanese way of saying it and 計算機 the Chinese way, in the same way that 'program' is still called 程式 on one side of the strait and 程序 on the other, or 'internet' is either 網絡 or 網路. The names of movies and video games are also generally different (PRC, HK, TW).
計算機 is a calculator, not a computer, in Taiwan: https://tw.images.search.yahoo.com/search/images?p=計算機 https://tw.images.search.yahoo.com/search/images?p=計算機
Compare with Baidu in the PRC: http://image.baidu.com/search/index?tn=baiduimage&ie=utf-8&word=計算機 http://image.baidu.com/search/index?tn=baiduimage&ie=utf-8&w...
Edit: Oops, I didn't even realise that the parent poster asked about 計算著. That one I've never seen.
