Ha! When we packed up to move just recently, I found ALL THREE of my slide rules, still in perfect working order!
Oh, you want something with batteries...
My Newton MP 2000 still works. I get about 2 weeks of life out of each set of 4 rechargeable AAs with normal use. (Which for me, used to include banging away at the keyboard for several hours each day, in addition to pen-based PDA stuff)
