Another thing I like about the fx-260 is the degree, minute, second feature.

Agreed. I also own one of these, and I like the fact that only one button is needed to indicate degrees minutes and seconds. However, I usually use my Texas Instruments 30XIIS instead because it has five memory slots, which is just enough to make most of the calculations I do much easier. Also, the TI will accept degrees and decimal minutes, too, which is nice. I just don't like having to select deg., min. or sec. from a menu. If I could put the DMS button from the fx-260 on the TI, it would be just about ideal for me.
