If you need really BIG binary numbers like this then an HP-16C is THE
way to go! Of course, if you are using these BIG binary numbers as part
of some other HP48SX operation then this is not much help :-(
Another :-( is that HP stopped making the HP-16C over a year ago.
Everyone (including HP) agreed it was THE best calculator for this kind
of work, and especially for even more complicated
binary/logical/extended precision operations - but HP decided they were
not making enough profit on this product to keep it going. So - if you
need it then try to find a store with some left in stock - then try
looking for someone with a spare - after that ask around the user clubs.
