I still have my slide rule from high school. I doubt that I remember how to use it. What a simple, wonderful tool.

I remember that the early TIs cost about $450 and were the size of small bricks.

My favorite calculator has always been the HP12C. I bought one in 1981 for about $95. It survived 25 years of hard use before passing on earlier this year. When I bought a new one for $75, the clerk asked me if I wanted to buy a one year warranty. I couldn't help myself from laughing out loud.
