Is 50g good or crap?

RPN and RPL have different stack mechanics. E.g. 123 ENTER in RPN puts 123 in X and Y. 123 ENTER in RPL puts 123 on the top of the stack (a stack depth that is only limited by RAM). As for programming, RPL is not keystroke like RPN is, but more so than Primecal. Lastly in RPL, any object (even a program) can be on the stack. In RPL you are always able to just write a small program. No fancy editor or program mode to worry about. The way to load or save a program is the same for a number or an equation. RPL, IMHO, is probably the most powerful, COTS battery powered*, interactive computing environment you can have in your hand for $75US**.
