Looks great. All that needs to be done to perfect it is to switch to RPN and 
make the display hexadecimal. I'm sure that a custom Nixie tube could be made 
for that.

Let's see, aside from numerals 0-9 each tube would have the capital letters A 
through F, a decimal point and a comma, and a dollar sign. The latter would be 
used as a prefix before the most-significant digit. For example, in 8 bit 
(byte) mode "123456789.123" would display as

"$07,5B,CD,15.1F,7C,ED,91,68,72,B0,20,C4,9C"


32 bit mode would be 

"$075BCD15.1F7CED91,6872B020,C49C"


Hmm. Hard to read. Perhaps a special comma-like thingy would make it easier to 
see the individual bytes. Suggestions welcome.

This is the finished IN-16 version. I'll add some more clock modes with 
date and some animations with the decimal points. That’s it!
