How about showing us what old electronic technology you have in your own collections. Here's one to start it off.






This is my TI-2500 Datamath electronic calculator. It dates to 1973 and still works perfectly.

Boy, do I have a few...good thread, Sci. I see that calculator still works also! We had one similar to that when I was a kid also!

Now to go hunting!

It'll be 40 next year.

This is my PowerBook 145, my first computer. I loved it until it went dark and never powered up again. The black and white monitor's atrocious and the RAM and hard drive capacity are laughable by today's standards, but it was just as indispensable back in the day as my iPad 2 is now.

Too freaking cool! I love it!

That's from the 1980&rsquo;s, isn't it. They had a whole line of handheld electronic devices, including dictionaries and translators.

It probably was. My brother bought it for me for Christmas when in I was in junior high school. It was a great tool!

Old tech that still works.

Here's my Hewlett Packard HP-97 calculator.
