Another calculator which allows programs to get the time, and which
costs less than $100 is the HP27S. This is in many ways like the HP17B, 
which the questioner did not want because of its lack of scientific 
functions, but the 27S has more scientific functions than the 17B, and 
fewer business functions. In fact both are subsets of the 19B, which 
also has time functions (but costs well over $100), except that the 27S 
also has a BASE menu for hex, dec, oct, binary numbers, and has ten 
alarms instead of five.
Are there any other folks out there who would like to see an updated HP
27S with RPN - the way the HP 19B and HP 17B have been updated to the HP
Are there people out there who would agree with me that an HP 27S
with RPN, like the HP 19BII and the HP 17BII would be nice?
