Well, you know the HP48 has become a part of the educational process when 
  professors design tests around it.  I just finished a Chem Eng class,
  one of whose profs was a completely AR guy who wanted us to have ALL 
  unit conversions memorized.  The other prof thought this was silly and
  said "If your calculator can do it, fine."

So up comes the final.  Two parts - one part *no calculators allowed* where
  you just list unit conversions.  Bleah.  Prof was quoted as saying "HP 
  calculators won't help you on this one."
