I reverted to an HP-41CX myself, after trying a 48GX and a 49G. Even though the 41CX isn't half as fast as either of the newer ones, and it doesn't have a tenth of its capabilities, I still prefer the 41CX.
Oh, and I have my old slide rule too. I don't think I've used it since 1976 or thereabouts, when I bought my first HP calculator, an HP-25. If I tried to use the slide rule today, I'd probably never figure it out. All I can do is multiply and divide, and then I always get the decimal point misplaced.
