Find a poor student who had to buy a Texas Instruments graphing 
calculator for a math class, and will get rid of it cheap. Mine is a 
TI-85. They have a ridiculous lot of extra features, and mine has a 
sweet set of unit conversions. Here, I can tell you that 8 quarts is 
1,536 teaspoons or 7570.823etc milliliters. Or that 8 light-years is 
4.0866213412 X 10^13 nautical miles. Or that the 165 hp of my Subaru's 
engine is equivalent to around 123040 watts, or about 29387 cal/s's.

And so on. I use it all the time.
