Frank,
I missed your survey, can you give some information which will help to find it?
Title of the message, approx date?

I am using a very old Casio fx-250, which has been discontinued long ago.
Several years ago I bought Casio fx-260 solar, and it does not have this convenient deg/min/sec
conversion. I even asked a Casio representative why this feature disappeared, and tried
to explain him why it is important.

From your message follows that they returned this feature (?!)
The fx-260 solar that I have now does not have deg/min/sec conversion.

Alex.

I recently did a survey of calculators in stores like Target, Walmart,

still selling well and usually for less than $10. It was $8.47 (???) at 
Walmart. That's the calculator I recommend.[END QUOTE]
I second that. I actually use my TI-30X IIS more because it has multiple 
memory slots which make sight reduction a breeze, and it has a battery for 
low-light conditions. But the Casio has one feature that almost trumps those 
and which I so wish the TI had: the "deg/min/sec" button works without having 
to use a menu like the TI does. It's a small difference, but when I keep 
having to pick deg., min. or sec. from a menu it makes me wonder why TI 
didn't just simplify it like Casio did: just press one button after each 
numerical entry.
