I am trying to find my daughter a fairly simple RPN scientific calculator, and have been reduced to bidding on 20-year-old HP calculators on eBay. There isn't anything out there new.

Although, it looks like HP may be launching a algebraic/RPN business calc that looks similar to the HP27S/32S/42S models (Pioneer models), so hopefully a scientific will be next.

note it has "Umgekehrte polnische Notation"

I LOVE my 32S. It's almost 20 years old.

These are good for keeping warp time. Top button activates a built-in inculculator, bottom button turns on the warp inverter. This one is 50mm dia.

Looks like that watch has a space-time anomaly isolator, too. I assume it also has a tri-polar Polhemus circuit, or is that next years model?

Yup. Angular deviation, as observed from its perihelion.

No; my doctor warned me against that (I'm bi-polar).

or is that next years model?

Actually, it's last year's model, three years from now........I think.

Not now (will be able to be more concise four days ago).

My thoughts exactly!

You guys' old HP calculators are getting expensive. A HP32S is >$100, a HP41C/CV/CX is $200 with no modules. The 1970s' models are a bunch too.

I have several HP12Cs, a HP11C, HP41CX, and gave my HP48G to my dad. I used to be more interested in programming HP calcs, but that interest is waning. Now you can carry a full Windows PC in a 5" x 3" x 1" package with 1GB RAM and 120GB hard drive, and run anything you like. http://www.oqo.com
