Programmable calcs were banned when I went to school since everyone was cheating with them. People even had programs to simulate the clearing of memory.

As they explained their reasoning, the information you could store in your calculator memory at that time was roughly equivalent to what you could write on a single piece of paper. So they would usually allow either a cheat sheet or a programmable calculator, and designed the tests accordingly.
