HP 41C?
I absolutely adore my 41C. That compu... er... calculator is a blast!!
I am not sure if it's a calculator or computer :-). Considering it
handles text (the Extended Functions ROM or the 41CX have most of the
string functions you'd expect), proper I/O, and it's possible to program
it in machine language (admittedly you need a special RAM box (commonly
called an MLDL -- Machine Language Development Lab) to do so), I guess
it's a computer :-)

I agree. It has all the requirements. User input output, device I/O,
mass storage, programability, etc. And it's not limited to one function per
key as most calculators.
