Here's a web page with tons of old HP calculators:
http://www.hpmuseum.org/
I used one of the early desktop models at my dad's work. I also used the
original Wang calculator at his work. Fun stuff.
I've got an HP 25C at home which I picked several years ago at a HAM
fest which had never been used (still had the registration card). The
batteries were dead, but I just dissasembled the battery pack and put a
pair of AA NiCads in. It's starting to get flaky, but I still use it
occaisionally.
I also occaisionally used a slide rule in high school, but mostly just
for fun.
