I still have my $10 APF scientific calculator from 1976 which got me thru high school, college, and did my taxes on it for a few years thereafter. The VFD display is still working nicely. Not programmable. BTW, that price ($10) is what I paid for it in 1976 at a drugstore. It outlasted the 2

Funny, I do not recall that. I had a TI-57 in high school that was a gift from my parents. Quite useful for pre-calculus in 12th grade. When I was in college, I saved up and bought a TI-59 that used magnetic cards to save programs on. Still have it though the battery module is long dead.
