I've bought myself one of these manager-type Daytimer thingies, and it has a magnetic backplate that fits one credit-card-sized calculator. Unfortunately, due to a genetic deficiency, I am unable to use infix calculators -- and so far, it looks like that's all they make in that size. So please, who has seen any RPN tiny calculators? Do they even exist? Any and all suggestions are welcome, and if you have a manufacturer/model number that would be wonderful. Thanks in advance, ^E Ed Santiago santiago@decwrl.dec.com DEC Workstations Systems Engineering ..decwrl!santiago

The closest thing to a credit-card-sized RPN calculator that I can remember was the Sinclair Scientific, which was out in the mid 1970's. Several outfits (Sinclair, Novus, Rockwell I believe and others) had some models that used RPN, however, all to my knowledge abandoned it fairly quickly. Funny how many of the calculator emulator programs for PC's now emulate HP RPN machines. I wonder if the users of those PC packages also bought RPN machines when there were no PC's..... Jake Schwartz
