I remember seeing a Hex calculator from Radio Shack. I don't know if they have them anymore though. Or you could always get a RS Model 100 laptop and use it as a fancy calculator 🙂

Unfortunately, the HP16 is "out of print". I used to have one, but made the mistake of leaving it at work and it sprouted legs :-). It definitely was RPN, but I consider that a bonus, not a short coming! (I'd gladly pay $100 I could get my hands on…

Hi. I don't know about the 16C, but the 27S I described doesn't use RPN. Maybe it was a marketing move on the part of HP . The 27S uses standard notation, and has a multiline display with a cursor, so that yu can back up and edit at any…

Hi. For what it's worth, another recommendation. I use a Hewlett-Packard 27S Scientific. They're around $70. Hex to 9 digits, binary to 38 digits, octal to 13 digits. I don't know what the limit on decimal is. I can't locate the manual at the moment, and I stopped my manual…

I am using a Casio CM-100 "computer math calc". it has "BIN" "OCT" "DEC" "HEX" keys for single key-switching as well as A-F keys. solar powered. algebraic. time calculations. parens 6-deep, a-shift,shift, rotate, bit-size 1,4,8,16,or 32, only *8* hex digits though. roughly 5 x 2 1/2 x 3/8. well built,…

Interesting, all right. Tell me, what kind of pinball machine is that that it yells "tilt" with such a small push? Really, what kind of equiptment needs a tiltmeter that fine? A friend of mine (just finished up at Texas A&M) built a laser. He set up a sand-table and…

No, what I meant was: that convention center is very near the area of greatest damage in the last quake. BTW, I've been meaning to report to the folks over on CLM: The quake was detected by our inertial lab tiltmeters here in Clearwater, Fla. Remember, these are not seismometers,…
