Having used a Ti84+ and Casio FX83GT for my secondary education, and borrowing a HP32 from a classmate at university I really like the stack approach and rpn so I caved with a HP35s which mostly did the job but wasn’t pocketable and a bit clumsy for me I found a HP32sii and snapped it up becoming my daily driver for a long time. It scratched an itch i didn’t know i had, then wanting to expand my programming and plotting I didnt like the look of the 49g and the 50g being out of my budget I found a nice HP48G that sits on my desk for the more complex work where the RPL hits the needs as well as a “quick” plotter. Even managed to bond with the older grumpy engineers over the calculators and rpn. Im sure my collection will continue to grow.

    I used the term RPN when taking with my wife a few years back. She looked shocked. She had never heard of it and thought I made a derogatory comment about polish people…

    She now knows about RPN.
