Since this is anecdote time: I got an HP49G for the SAT Math subject test (which apparently is no longer a thing). I loved it to bits.
But I ended up putting it away – by the time I was simultaneously doing college statistics, a class on numerical methods and DEs, and few other classes, I got so frustrated with having to remember inscrutable 6-letter softmenu items that I took my first summer paycheck and blew it on a TI-89.
