Not related to the monopoly stuff but I like HP calculators best! For college I used an HP 35S—it’s a programmable scientific calculator and fun to program because it uses RPN stacks for calculations and storing results.

Ah, the 35s — that's what I keep at work on my desk.

my first HP, a 15c, stays home, safe & sound, with it's original spine-bound manual. I think I've replaced the batteries three times in some thirty-five years.

also have a 32sII that I bought off a friend who'd gotten it as a gift for his gf who was starting some math/sci class … but "she didn't like it" (which I read as, "wth is RPN". her loss!)
