I still have the Sinclair Scientific calculator I bought new in 1976 when I was in the 6th Form.
ISTR it cost £ 45 - Saved for ages for that - its on my "shelf of shame" along with my British Thornton slide rule, a DEC J-11 chip and many other horrors.
The calculator still works - its "reverse Polish" - who nowadays (apart from a few HP calculator users) knows how that works ?
