Texas Instruments "Programmer II" [0] which dates back to the 1980's (bought new sometime back then). Sits on the desk for the days when I need to convert back and forth between hex and decimal.
Edit: mine predates the one in the link, date code C-0185 meaning January 1985, serial number 47674.

- afandian 3y agoI love the Programmer view in the macOS calculator. Being able to type in hex, flip binary digits. I've needed it a handful of times ever, but it's nice to know it's there. For a long time I wanted a real one, with a bank of binary LEDs alongside a hex display. Just for fun really. I don't know if such a calculator ever existed? But that one looks like the closest.
