A friend at work had one of those H.P. calculators and I found the
reverse polish notation to almost impossible to work with. An
eccentricity perhaps but " 3 4 5 × - " just didn't seem logical :-)

I, on the other hand, found it quite natural to say six, twelve -- add
'em.

But I had very little use for a calculator -- and today, the solar
calculator that I got as an advertising premium does just fine. (When
a bright light shines on it.)

Future shock: from six hundred dollars and worth every penny to
throw-away.
