This is not a software related question. I just like asking the QNX
community questions like this.
I had a calculator, the Texas Instruments “TI-68 ‘Programmer’”. The display
is now flaky so I wanted to replace it. This is the third “Programmer”
calculator I’ve had from TI. Apparently TI has discontinued the
“Programmer”. I don’t want to spend a fortune on an expensive programable
graphics calculator.
Does anyone know of a cheap calculator that does bin/oct/dec/hex conversions
and and/or/xor?

My 100-year-old HP16C still works. It’s on its third set of batteries!
Maybe you can find a used one?

My CASIO CM-100 COMPUTER MATH CALC has those features, AND solar powered,
but at over 15 years old they probably don’t makem any more either.

Yes!
To get an engineering degree took me 3 x TI58c (one stolen, two broken).
Casio I later bought at $8 US in 1985 still works great. Takes a beating
and keeps on hex-converting. Left it at home, so I’m not sure of the model
number. But who cares you probably can’t get it anyways now.
Anyways maybe I am too skeptical, never did I think of uses for graphing
calculators that can’t be better served by a PC now. Spend $10-12 for a
convenience, and save the rest of the money for beers.
If you just need to spend big money for some reason, buy a palm-pilot.
Scientific and programmer programs are easily available, even freeware.

To all those who might care. I found this as a reasonable substitute.

I’ll bet its a successor to my TI-36 Solar. That’s the one I use,
but didn’t want to suggest it, since I’ve had it for 15+ years, so
didn’t think it would be a useful suggestion.
