The flyer tells us that CALC is everything you ever wanted in an $800 calculator. The joke, of course, is that the PET's introductory price was $795 USD in 1977 (equivalent to just shy of $4,000 in 2024). Joke's on you, you gormless rube, using your very expensive machine as a calculator.
The calculator has some interesting features like octal/decimal/hexadecimal conversion and the ability to treat the results of a calculation as a memory pointer and PEEK at bytes and words at the target memory location.
