HA!! I still have my Little Professor Calculator!! My dad was a physics major and was a high school teacher of math and science, so of course he bought me that calculator!!
Awesome! The one at our meeting was given to me as a Christmas gift back in 1978. My grand mother found it in a box recently and sent it to me. I was so happy to see it again, especially that it still worked. The hard part was tracking down a working 9 volt battery for it hehe.
