techtool, planet10 - I keep the TI-59 and a decade-later TI-95 in a drawer.
I recently bought a Casio FX-9750GIII to see how calculators have improved. The UI is much better, but the TI-59 could do many of the same things 45 years earlier.
Of course, the reality is that I solve math problems by writing computer software.

i have a nice RPN calculator -- it's on my iPhone. I have run through 3 HP41's
50 years ago I bought a little Bowmar calc for my job. When the battery was low it was awful. Shoulda bought a TI. I think that the first HP41 I bought was almost $300 and them's real dollars 45 years ago.
I think it was circa 1980 or 1981 that I built a Heath IG-18.
