For some reason I assumed a bunch of Reddit calculator nerds would also know what hexadecimal is. Thanks for giving the explanation.

Yeah, even small features helped.
There is an Engineering setting where all scientific notation was in exponents that were multiples of 3. Perfect in grad school when I wanted stuff only in nano, micro, milli, etc.
I agree. The calc app I use is pretty similar to this TI

The "b00b5" displayed is in hexadecimal, so just calling attention to the juvenile joke.
Some commenters are saying 'wow that's a funny-looking 6' when it's not.

Lots of old ones had LED displays, although you wouldn't be able to see the keys.
This was my previous calculator:

If you use the CPLX mode you input real and imaginary components.
