How about this gem! I had one of these when I was a kid:
GAD
love it!! - hehe, i like the forward thinking, use of a stylus clipped on the side! reminds me of a certain sony ericsson smart phone from a few years ago
i think the only way people are gonna beat that post GAD, is to claim the use of an abacus in their infancy

dont know if it counts, but i used to have an old HP-32S when i was on the math team in high school(Nerd Alert!) ever since those days i cant stand to use algebraic calculators, i eventually upgraded to to the modern HP-49G, but i still miss my old 32S

After an early comp sci course where I wrote a stack-based calculator and parser, and then had to do the equivalent while accepting algebraic input, I just can't get over how elegant RPN is. It's just the right representation, at least from a computing standpoint...
Not sure how fun it would be on a graphing unit though, I'm not sure Calculus and trig lend themselves to RPN...
The Curta is a really intriguing device from a design perspective, and apparently really practical too! I've never seen one in person though.

Nice, I have an emulator of the 42S for my palmpilot and my computer it look decent with the proper skin, the default skin is fugly
Among my many calculators is a Monroe desk unit with Nixie tubes, and a rather chunky Sharp using the very early blue fluorescent readout with the half-size zero. I've started on slide rules too. My scanner is loaned out until 11/16/07 so no photos - sorry!

BTW, that Busicom looks awesome, Duggeh!
