So instead of my TI-92, I brought my Sinclair Cambridge Programmable - which I found at a thrift store - and a spare 9-volt battery. The humor of course was that I was using a programmable calculator, but then again, it's not one you can really do much useful programming on it anyway (no constant memory).

Some of my mates are teaching now, and they come from the HP48 era. I'm sure that most of them will think that an HP15C is a harmless toy in an exam...
