Re: Recommendations for a good old fashion HEX calcuator
Sorry for the late post. If you have a Palm or Treo Smartphone, the Calculator has a 'Logic' function in the Options menu which gives you a nice hex calculator. The Options menu also gives you Math, Trig, Finance, Statistics, Weight/Temp, Length, Area, and Volume calculators. Fits two criteria, can hold it in your hand and it's free. -- Best Regards, Rob Barbour Enterprise Systems Associates, Inc (ESAi) Central Florida Research Park 12565 Research Parkway, Suite 300 Orlando, Florida 32826USA Toll Free: 1-866-GO-4-ESAI (1-866-464-3724) URL: http://www.ESAIGroup.com Enterprise Tools...

Re: Recommendations for a good old fashion HEX calcuator
The best programmer's calculator made was the HP-16C. It did hex, octal and binary and was programmable. Mine is still going strong on its fourth set of batteries since 1982 (http://www.hpmuseum.org/hp16.htm). The best new-fangled calculator, for you fellow iPhone junkies, is James Thomson's PCalc (http://www.pcalc.com/). It is highly customizable, can work in RPN (for you HP fans) or normal infix mode. It can change layout when rotated, has programmable functions, has a number of useful constants, and is just a nice, useful toy.

Re: Recommendations for a good old fashion HEX calcuator
In the ASE labs for many years we've used a particular line of basic 56 function scientific calculators identified under the badge as the model SC107A. These were originally purchased in the late 1990's for the princely sum of $4.95 from the office products section of a major supermarket chain! (we've had an unofficial contest running since then to find an even cheaper hex-capable calculator.. yes, I know, but it's a case of so much time, so little to do.. :-)). Last year, wanting to buy some more of these durable and functional little things, and not having seen them on sale for years, we used the Internet to locate the manufacturer of the SC107A. The Truly Electronics Mfg. Ltd, ( http://www.truly.netwww.truly.net ) very kindly quoted us a price, FOB Hong Kong, USD1.85 each, minimum order of 1000 pieces. We actually thought about going ahead..! The Christmas morning atmosphere of opening up a parcel of 1000 calculators (actually 10 packs of 100 units each) would be intoxicating! Of course with (sea) freight and insurance the unit price would rise to about $2.50. And then, while we were still prevaricating we found the SC107A again! This time re-badged as Office One 720, in the local K-Mart store for $9.95 ea. In snazzy dark grey with high-visibility white markings on keys and a hinged hard cover to protect its tender bits, it instantly drove a stake through the heart of the idea to purchase 1000 of the beloved items! So, I'd expect that you can find this hardy little workhorse, under whatever badging, somewhere in chain stores that carry office products just about everywhere in the world. And if you can find one for a lower price than AUD9.95 (about USD8.40 today) then you will be winning in the cheapest Truly contest!
