Calculators

I am quite fond of programmable calculators.

Links go stale faster than I am able to check them. I've changed some of these links to point to the "last known good" version of the page archived at archive.org. If you run across a link that doesn't work (other than archive.org links; those can be notoriously slow and less than reliable) please let me know!
