When I was going (not a gear) they had multiple scale, PI folder scales, etc slip sticks.

I was right on the transition. I had a slip-stick in high school, but by the time I was in college the calculators had come down in price -- and increased in functionality -- to where they were a real alternative.
The HP-41C was the penultimate gear-head calculator. All the scientific functions, 10-digit LCD display, programmable, and you could get these expansion cards that plugged into the top. Give it more memory or more functions, and even plug in a printer.
Geek chic.
