But still useful, and I still think 'that way around' when putting in equation into a calculator - using my kids' modern one is a pain.
I have the FX81, which was the economy version, without the statistics function. Except the stats function does work, but the LCD shows ER in the corner instead of SD, and of course the keys aren't marked. When my slide switch became intermittent a clean sorted it, and although theres small bits missing from the battery cover it's intact. It was my second LCD device, after the previously mentioned watch.
