What calculator do you use ?

WorldPowerLabs:
I like calculators with real, light-up VF displays.  My favorite is an old Sharp EL-500 scientific calculator.  It has a weird placement of the "0" key, but otherwise it's almost perfect. 

My circa-y2k TI-82 sits on the shelf, in case I need it.

Well im pretty sure you cant buy one as new anymore. What i use i mean... HP 48GX, its more then 10 years old, but does job nicely. Programmable, has rs-232 serialsport (needs adapter cable)... And if i really want to go old then my trusty old Sharp PC-E220 programmable calculator. Both are older then i care to admit, but still work perfectly.

Advise for you? Go any decent store and you can buy reasonable calculator there, expecially if your willing to buy one of those scientific ones...

I use a simple scientific calculator: M228 nata by Milan

It cost me only 8 USD.
I am pretty happy with it :)

i use my calculator that i got for school. its a Texas instruments TI-30XB scientific calculator, i think it costs 30 or forty Aussie dollars. it does all that i need.

DarkPrince:
Various tasks require various calculators! I don't think it is universal. For example I have three calculators and they are all used semi-regularly.

Texas Instruments TI-30Xa Calculator (used for basic calculations on bench or classes which don't permit graphing calculators)
Texas Instruments TI-NSpire CAS CX   (used in some of my advanced math classes)
Texas Instruments TI-92+                   (used generally on my electronics bench when working more complex formulas. generally doesn't go to classes anymore

Late (Dead/Gone/Missing):
Texas Instruments TI-83+ SE

Alright I didn't even realize I am biased towards TI... not intentional just get either what is commented by professors or what other classmates are getting (why I now have the nspire).
