In Portugal we used them as well, but we don't suffer from a TI monopoly on the education system.

Anyone is free to pick whatever they wanted, so we had a mix of Casio, TI and HP calculators.

The Casio Basic tablets were the most famous ones, FX-850P.

I eventually had the follow up model FX-880P, after using FX-4500P during high school.

No, these calculators were fairly popular in Sweden as well (at least during the late 90s).
