Speaking of obsolote, how about this one:



The loving TI-83, my school required us buy these for 100€+ apiece. They were somewhat outdated even when we got them, and when smartphones came about they became just laughable. Though I still have fond memories of coding small programs for them to automate some math stuff which made the classes pretty easy.



VVVVV I'll be damned. With the ubiquitousness of netbooks, tablets and all that stuff I thought people would have moved over to a software-based solution by now. Well, shows what I know about math :v: VVVVVVV

Obsolete? I carry that thing in my work bag and use it every day - others call it the "waffle iron" or any number of other names. The fact that it gives me several lines of preceding results that I can jump back to makes it indispensable to me. Plus, I can always beat sales or ops people to death with it if they don't want to see reason :v:

In fact, I've been looking for an alternative recently to cut down on the amount weight I tend to carry around, but there still is nothing better out there.
