What's your favorite calculator?

mc172:
My fx-85GT does me well but I'm led to believe that in the elite calculator circles this isn't good enough. No idea why!

I also replied to Ampera's old thread as well. My heart belongs to many models, and I am faithful to all of them! :D

My favourite is the HP48 - I got a 48SX in 1991 but about 20 years later it simply died. My wife then kindly gave me her 48GX which is still alive and well. At work I have a HP35S that does an excellent job for me (too afraid to leave the 48GX there and have it "borrowed" by someone that does not intend to return it).

I started with my dad's TI-59 (first thing I ever programmed) and I currently have a TI-66 just to flex my programming muscle memory. I love both, although the 59 still holds a special place in my heart.

My first actual calculator was a Casio fx-39 given to me by my dad in 1982. I still have it, along with my brother's and another one I got a few years ago in the hopes to get it working again. Unfortunately the Casios of the time had a very bad keyboard resistive mat that becomes brittle and ceases to work after a few years...

(edit) oh, and I forgot a HP11C that I got a few years back on the local market with the intention to turn a profit. Something about the Voyager calculators (TI66 as well) made me fall in love with it. Never sold it and currently don't plan to do it.

NiHaoMike:
TI-89 Titanium. I had to get one for college, and it still works, so why not keep using it?

SiliconWizard:
I still have a HP48G+. I don't use it very often anymore though, but it works perfectly. When in front of a computer, I use computer tools and calculators. If not, most often my phone (using free42 mostly).
But it's nice to go back to a real calculator every once in a while.

DIPLover:
T.I. 92 plus

MAN I love that thing.
