    i still have my graphical calculator, it's last role in my educational life was to run the program i wrote (in the exam) to randomly generate a letter between A and D for my multiple choice German (General studies) exam.

    I got an 'A' 🙂

    I still have that sticker too. I just transferred from a bookcase I am getting rid of because I didn't want to get rid of it just yet. Sad (but it was sticky enough to handle the move if you're thinking of doing the same). 😐

    I found mine the other day and it had the p/i/v triangle and some other physics reminders etched into it from my gcses. Cheating little sod.

    I was hoping for some sort of calculator to work out how old skool your bike was – sort of:

    ski bar-ends + purple ano + sharkfin chainguard = 1990

    or something

    I've got a fx-39 on my desk – the definitive early 80s schoolboy arms-race supercalculator. None of yer graphical rubbish, just row upon unnecessary row of functions. Magic !

    That's one of the large Casio Graph calculators isn't it? I had one of those. You could program tons of equations in and hide them from the teachers for exams. Not that I ever did. ehem.
