My requirement for a calculator as well.

I have a sister who has been programming for HP since about 1980, and HP-RPN 
calculators have been an occasional gift from her. I have a 33c (in a drawer 
in need of nicads), a 15c for serious math (always in my briefcase) and a 
16c,  the computer programming model that does hex / dec / octal / binary 
conversions (always at hand in my office).

The HP museum link is cool  (in a purely geek way, of course).
 Looks like there's a new 15c emulator for Linux to check out as well!
