I still use a descendent, the HP 50g for a lot of stuff. I've got programs I use regularly that are 30 years old now!


The 50g remains the best calculator I've ever used. I've also got a prime, and while it may be faster and come with a larger library, it feels so much more limited and clunky.


Would love to know what old programs you still use regularly do.


Mostly statistics operations on simple lists, a decision analysis tool and financial planning.
