You must have been rich, I got a TI-58 in my last year. Before that I had a
non-programmable Commodore calculator that did a lot of statistical functions
and also had hyperbolic functions and complex arithmetic....possibly the most
useful calculator I have ever had. Before that I had a British Thornton
log/trig slide rule which was pretty damned fast :-)
