Reply to comment by Liambp in Solar calculator bought circa 1985. Needs brighter light now, otherwise works perfectly, even in hexadecimal. by lake_huron

Yeah, even small features helped.

There is an Engineering setting where all scientific notation was in exponents that were multiples of 3. Perfect in grad school when I wanted stuff only in nano, micro, milli, etc.

I agree. The calc app I use is pretty similar to this TI

That is such a useful feature. I had a Casio calculator with a button called "Eng" which did something similar. It was incredibly useful for converting an answer to k. M, G etc.
