	The HP28 does not have a time-of-day clock built-in by default, but
it does have an internal timer that people have used to base clocks around.
Back when I had my 28S I had one of these programs and it seemed to keep
pretty good time. Anyway, the 28S is available used from Edu-Calc for under
$100, and i'm sure one of the HP archives has the clock program(which i'm
sure could be modified to return the current time when called by another
program)
