Get something from the HP-48G series (G, G Plus, GX) if you ever
do scientific calculations.  You can attach a set of units to
each number you enter, and it carries them along with all the
arithmetic you perform on them.  Then when you finish you tell it
what unit you want the result in, and if you did everything right
then it converts it, or if you screwed up it says "Incompatible
Units" and you go back and fix the calculation.  Invaluable;
saved my ass over and over again in science and engineering
classes.

Plus it has a metal and hard plastic case, very durable.  The
HP-49 series is newer but not really aimed at the same market.
