a calculator with an '=' key. I had my trusty 41CV...
The thing that frustrated me was the 32-bit display (hex, best case) or
24 bit (octal). At the time, I was shuttling between 60 bit/20 octal
digits and 64 bit/(16 hex digits), the latter having 48-bit addresses.
The HP 16C was very much up to the job; the TI unit, not so much.
