Yes, I cut my programming teeth on programmable calculators before getting a computer as a child.

Some of the Vintage HP business models are offered at crazy money: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-HP-16C-Scientific-Calculator-Working-Vintage0

One auction - there's lot of others for that model, including Buy It Now, at around £200.

I know, that one is overpriced, though you need to check the age. It is the US made originals from the early 1980s that go for silly money.... £700-1000 is about right for one of those. The later Chinese ones are more £200.

You can make quite a good bit of money if you find a US one at the Chinese model price. Sometimes people find them in drawers and sell them without knowing.

Swissmicros do a very good HP-16 clone for ~£100.

I bought a DM42 a couple of years ago. I like it more than my HP50G.

Yes, I've got 2 of those, they are my every day ones! They are really nice, and faster than the originals.
