Russell,

I have and still use my HP45 which I purchased at horrendous expense when I
was in the 7th form (25+ years ago).  The NiCd's died long ago and the
plugpack power supply connector has been repaired a dozen times, and some
segments of the LED's have variable brightness, but overall it still works
well.

I also have a current model HP RPN calculator which I purchased on special
at Frys when I was in California but it suffers from rampant featuritis and
has an LCD screen which is diffcult to see if the viewing angle is low.

Except for the need to plug it in, I much prefer to use my HP45 for most
things.

Sadly, I have been unable to convince my kids of the benfits of RPN  - they
just look at me as though I am from another planet.

Regards,

Ken Mardle
