To calculate time and such, that would be neat.

You can do that with a base converter I would think.
One of these days I'll get a sig I'm really proud of.

There's the built in timer on the 84's, but I doubt that's what you're looking for.

TI calculators do have degree-minute-second conversion, which can be used as if it were hour-minute-second. For example, suppose you want to add the times 1:23:45 and 3:45:01, type 1
