That is precisely what I use.

Interesting that the above comment was posted exactly two years ago today.  (Or should I say "2 365 * p" days ago.)

I just did a currency conversion on the command line before reloading the forum too.

Answer to question: Ti 89 Platinum.

If you don't have to contend with exam rules, just get the best one available for less than 150us if you shop around:
- TI cx cas (think of it as a modern TI 89).
- HP prime or 50 (question of taste).
- Casio 991 as a pocket rocket.

On a side note, I just scored a new TI Nspire Touchpad for 1€ and I'm happy as a geek with a calculator.

I had a TI-83 attending ITT Technical Institute in the late 90's.  Lent it to my stepdaughter when she was in high school and it was promptly stolen.  Just grabbed a TI-82 at a hamfest for $2 with minor screen issue and I have realCalc on my Nook HD+

I used to have a Sharp EL 506P, not sure what happened to it. Did replace it with an EL 506L because my main use for them was/is base conversion.

Now I just use the Windows calculator, although I don't like the change they made in Windows 7 that separates the programmer mode from the scientific mode.

The EL 506L is still around in my desk but I rarely power it up.
Edit: added image since there is a newer 506L model it seems.
