I may be showing my age, but I grew up on HP's RPN calculators. It is difficult for me to now use a regular algebraic calculator.

I'm curious what RPN calculators others are using and what they think of them. I have looked at Lygea's and Creative Creek's HP look-alike calculators. They look very good and are very tempting for someone like me who can have that old HP look.

However, I am tempted by the newer calculators with RPN mode which bundle other capabilties, such as unit converters (a program type which spoiled me on my old Palm Vx). I have installed the 1-Calc program which comes on the Dell CD with the X51v. It works fine, but occasionally causes portions of the screen to show a "double image". And, something which may only bother me, it doesn't have a true "enter" key, but uses the "=" key for "enter". Minor, I know, but irksome.

Anyone out there who has discovered that perfect RPN?
