Chances are if you qualify for shirt this you are probably already retired. I figure I was the next to last generation for it.

Walked around campus with my K&E hanging from my belt as a freshman in 1957. Really impressed the chics. Even the elementary ed coeds avoided me.

I do remember that around 1972/73 range my Dad got what I remember was a HP35. I played with it but didn't like using RPN to operate it. Later I did do some stuff in FORTH but RPN still slowed me down. I wasn't long after this I bought myself one of the first TI's with the red led numbers.
