All,

 TI (Texas Instruments) also offers a Programmers Calculator which too
 has conversion from/to Decimal, Binary, Hex, and Octal as well as the
 And, Or, Nand, Nor, and Not functions.   The one I have is the older
 LED model based on the TI30.  The newer ones are LCD types and very
 thin.  The wallet type.  These also are inexpensive and very useful.
 The one I have I've had for about 20 years or so, and I wouldn't give
 it up for anything.

 If you do any programming of anything at all, a programmers calculator
 would be a definite asset to your toolset.   You'll often wonder how
 you got along without it.

 BTW, the windows calculator is good, but many times I want to check some
 values or do some quick conversions and don't necessarily want to fire up
 the computer just to use the calculator.   That's where the handheld and
 computer independent machines really come in handy.

 Bottom line.... Get one.  You can't go wrong.  They're inexpensive, and
                 if you never used it, you wouldn't miss the few dollars
                 you spent on it.  But I'm betting you'll use it so often,
                 that there will be spots on the case worn almost through
                 because of the amount of use it gets.


                                                 Regards,

                                                   Jim
