Any suggestions for a fully-functional portable calculator? I'm looking for one like Excalibur (with the same, or better range of functions). I was devastated when I found out that it wasn't portable.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

A good idea, I'll get on that.

I use this small RPN calculator on my drive. It's extremely simple and doesn't have the feature of Excalibur, but works well. The layout is similar to the HP48 series of calculators.
http://www.hpcalc.org/hp48/pc/emulators/rpncalc.zip (just unzip to your drive and run the executable)
It has a weird interface, you have to enter both numbers before doing the operation? I guess I'm not used to that type. I still want to find one that is comparable to the Calculator in Windows.

It's different because it's a RPN (Reverse Polish Notation) calculator. You don't enter the arguments like you would on a normal non-RPN calculator.
It's hard to get used to at first, but I've been using an HP RPN calculator for 10 years now, and feel lost on a normal calc.
I guess you get used to it.

I have been using aller calc for quite a long time. It has everything I need for work. But, it is not entirely portable: the calc history is saved in the program directory but the setting is in registry.
I use the TI emulator so I have the full power of a TI calculator, which I'm use to using. Just install and copy the exe file and the rom files and any other files in that directory.
