The feature I really loved was arithmetic in alternate radices, although it 
came too late to help with octal. When I was writing/debugging assembler and 
the tools were crummy it was heaven to have a hex calculator because screwing 
up with hand calculation would send me into the deeper weeds.

For some reason this reminds me of a source level debugger we used in the 80s 
called CDB (created by one of the compiler vendors). It had a "came from" 
command. It didn't do anything: it was just a joke. But each new dev that 
discovered it would spend minutes rolling on the floor laughing. ;-)
