Is that an HP11C I see on your bench? I thought I was the only one using the benefits of RPN around here.

Hi Tom,
I have three of those old HP-11C calculators (for the same reason that I have three pairs of glasses) LOL. I think that model is the best compromise between size/capability of anything I've used. The one in the photo is about forty years old and my other two are a couple of years younger.
No problems with any of them and the battery life is amazing - measured almost in decades rather than years ! I occasionally use algebraic calculators but why deal with all of those parentheses unnecessarily ? RPN forever !

P.S. I also still own a slide rule - no problem with battery availability
