Hmm. My ancient 18c has a clock on it. I wonder if you can use the
crystal in a program to get accurate timings. Cool!

But, I;d say go with TIs. My 82 does all I need it to do, although I
wouldn't mind an 86. I dunno about HP's language support, but TI basic
is great for word problems on a test. Whip up a fast program, and you
got you an answer. HP's calculators have a rough feel to them, perhaps
it is because they are moer powerfull.
