Well, I still have a TI-86 calculator with a Z80 processor. Of course, even these are extremely mocked these days (eg http://xkcd.com/768/) My best friend in high school had programmer parents, and lots of computer magazines from the 80s. I know we found some computer with a Z80 processor from 1980 for $2000. I bought my calculator in 1998 for about $100. Using a random inflation calculator, the same computer would have cost $4000 at that time. Who knows about specs and other stuff, but you said you wanted stories, not science. ~daid PS Actually my calculator is MIA right now. Maybe I left it in the US or Canada...or it's packed in some bag in Japan? Whatever people can say, I miss my calculator.
