**For me, I purchased my first scientific calculator sometime around 
1973. It cost me AUS$104.00. A huge sum for a student back then. I could 
not afford the superior, Texas Instruments one. I still have my 
favourite slide rule though. A Faber-Castell 2/83N Novo-Duplex. Best 
slide rule ever made.
