I had a similar experience - my TI-25 (I think that was it - it was all black with the pretty full range of scientific and engineering functions) was a great calculator that served me well from 1992 to 2008 before it died. The replacement was one of those graphing jobs with all the bells and whistles, but it's so much harder to drive and nowhere near as useful, at least not without a lot more work to get there. I barely use it.
If only I could bring that TI-25 back to life ....
