Gosh I remember those early days. I probably have one or two of those "pocket" models floating around here somewhere. I picked up a couple of snazzy purse-sized calculators for my girls this Christmas for $2.50 a piece. My younger daughter thought she was opening a cell phone and the look of disappointment on her face was precious. I told her to hold it up to her ear in the cafeteria and talk into it.

She wasn't very amused. :)

I had one of those too. They were the competition for the nice, but expensive HP calculators. Mine used the green fluorescent display as a temporary register and you could watch it "think". Kinda cool. Ate batteries though.
