I had a TI Programmer LED model. It died a horrible death. I don't know
what became of it. I have the model that replaced it, a TI Programmer II,
an LCD model. It has number keys with binary representations ghosted over
the keys, CE, XOR, AND, OR to the left of the numbers, oh heck:
ON/C
DEC HEX OCT K OFF
STO RCL SUM ( )
SHF D E F / (<--divide symbol)
1'sC A B C X
OR 7 8 9 -
AND 4 5 6 +
XOR 1 2 3
CE 0 . +/- =
I used to use this thing all the time. I really should get some batteries
for it. I need a pair of Varta V13GA or similar.

TI made a "programmers" calculator at one time. LED display IIRC. I
doubt they still make it but you should be able to find one on E-bay and
TIs usually go cheap.
Joe In any case, my programmable calculators have
real mass storage
(including 3.5" floppies), 80 column video, decent printers, useful I/O,
and so on. I use HP41s with IL and most of the peripherals...
Heh. I've been toying with the idea of buying one of the TI programmable
graphics calculators (probably a TI-84). Anyone got one? Can they be made to
do RPN, hex->bin conversion, bitwise operations, etc.?
Failing that, anyone care to suggest a nice, (fairly) low-cost programmers'
calculator? I know at least one person is going to say "HP 16C", but I
haven't seen any around my neck of the woods for a while, and the ones I've
seen on Ebay seem to go for insane amounts.
