I would like a cheap ($25 or so) rpn calculator to carry around with me (it would live in my pack pocket). Maybe I'm just slow-witted, but I find it difficult to use an infix calculator after using my HP for so long. I'm not interested in quality, just the rpn and the price. In fact, I'd be interested in hearing of ANY company besides HP that makes rpn calculators these days, just out of curiousity.

See if you can get hold of one of clive sinclair's (of Timex ZX81 fame) first offerings, the Sinclair Cambridge calculator - these were small, very cheap, very slow reverse polish calculators which you could buy intact or as a kit. They were fine if you had fun with a soldering iron, but were prone to frequent breakdowns..... well, just a thought..... marcus (pyuxt!marcus)

According to a change sheet to the Corporate Price List that slipped by me last week, one of the HP3x calculators went down to $22 list. However, these are apparently only available in Europe!! Try your local HP sales office and see what they say.
