The HP Prime does RPN. About $150 at Fry's.

I actually like this calculator. But - my point here is simply to correct your statement that nobody makes RPN's anymore.

How clever... As usual, a wishfully scathing but weak retort since you have nothing better to offer, and want the last word to echo in the minds of the witless.

Just stating the facts, ma'am.

"Feet to the fire?" You simply prove that I've been right about you all along. You are an old hag.

No, you're just a slimy asshole and I'm treating you as an asshole should be treated.

Algorithms? WTF are you talking about.

It was said some time back. If you had half a brain you wouldn't be asking such stupid questions. ...or following people around looking for a fight.

Can it calculate 5/9 in hex?

Too complicated for me, but I found an online calculator to do it. 5/9 in hex is 0.8e38e38e38e39

Many of these old fav HP calculators have workable emulator versions that run on Android smartphones, complete with chiclet-key visual appearance, etc.

Thanks, - Win

WDNNS visual appearance.

I recently bought a Blackberry Classic, so you know I'm attached to real keyboards. ;)

Yeah, TTCALC does that to 1000 bits. I was wondering if that HP16 does fractional hex.

Here's an interesting problem You have an equation of 1/2_?_1/8_?_1/2 = 1/2 . What operators do you use where the question marks are to arrive at 1/2 using +, -, X, or divide? example is 1/2 + 1/8 + 1/2 = 1/2 which is incorrect.

Finally, something non-vitriolic _and_ correct.

But nothing more than a snide, vitriolic, incorrect comment from you, old hag.

Why don't you guys kiss and make up? You would both feel better. Maybe.

Why should I listen to you? You're no different than Fields.

Ah, then... the HP16C _does_ do fractional hex?

You posted the HP16 pic, so presumably you have one.

Does it do fractional math in hex?

What is 1/7 in hex?

KRW doesn't like to kiss and make up, he likes to take it up the ass and prolong the argument for as long as possible. He and I used to be buddies, and back then he had a great interest in skydiving, so he went to all the classes and bought all the equipment and signed up for his first jump one weekend. I saw him at work the next Monday, and asked: "How'd it go?" "Well," he said, "a bunch of us took off, and when we got to altitude they all lined up and jumped, one at a time. I was the last to jump, but I froze up at the hatch and couldn't do it. The instructor was right behind me and he said: "If you don't jump I'm going to fuck you in the ass right here." Shocked, I asked: "Did you jump?" "A little, right at first", he replied. John Fields

Fields likes to stalk people and talk dirty. That's all he is, with the exception of a 555 circuit or two.

You're such a liar. We were *never* buddies. You were always a loser.

That joke is about as dumb and as old as you are, old hag.
