The readout isn't as pretty, I have to admit, and extracting square roots is about the limit of its capabilities. I started out with a four-function Texas Instruments (I think) which my brother bought for $40. Next year they were $10. It's around here somewhere. Next was an RPN I got at a hamfest, which I found very easy to use, but it needed batteries so now I have a cheap solar-powered one.
