Oldest computing device in your household?

[Arch_Enemy]

I still have the first calculator I ever owned from 1974 when pocket calculators were new on the market. It is a Triton 1200, it's British made, and cost me £17 (about 10 days wages) as a half price introductory offer from New Scientist magazine. I must find a PP9 battery to test it.

Sorry.

Three sheets to the wind.

Didn't fully read it.

I remember the Tritons.

Am I THAT old???

[gittiest personITW]

Slightly newer than that as I wouldn't dream of using old junk like that.
A Texas Instruments TI 30SLR (solar powered) calculator.
Purchased 1983 ish and still works when exposed to todays low wattage LED ceiling bulbs.

My AT format computer was one of the first non IBM AT machines. Hand build from the "best of everything" components. Still working with just the occasional replacement of the screen, keyboard, mouse, memory, motherboard, CPU, disks, graphics card, power supply.

Hi,

Casio FX850 P, a programmable (in a kind of scientific BASIC) calculator.

Still in use, issued in 1987...

Non programmable: HP 21 calculator, bought in 1976.

Still older, running without electricity: Graphoplex slide rule, bought in 1971; my brain, got in 1957 ; and an old ivory slide rule, dating probably from before WWII!

Regards,

MN

When you get down to the brass bananas, I'm the oldest computing device in my household. The OP never specified it had to be electronic or particularly smart.

A 1978 TRS 80 Model 1 running level 1 BASIC.

Needless to say while still working, it's been retired from active service

Similar here, a TRS-80 clone called the Dick Smith System 80 in Oz and NZ, Video Genie(?) in the UK I understand. I had to instal a vernier control to adjust the casette tape output level. In 1986 an Apple 2c for which I still have the green screen monitor. First scientific calculator a HP-21 about 1976. Currently running a HP-45 on my phone

Yup! I'm not adverse to using my toes, either.

that makes it base 20 maths as used by Aztecs, Mayans, Yoruba, and others.

Since they were male dominated, I would have thought they would have used base 21 math.

I still have a pair of old boxy IBM computers. P just under or above 100, EDO-RAM and even such novelties as a Compact Disc player.

I have older than this, but this Casio LC-403C was easy to put my hands on:
