How much has RPN/RPL spoiled you?

RE: How much has RPN/RPL spoiled you?
My first RPN was the HP25. I had an SR10 before, and a Commodore SR1400 (I think I have that right)

The Commodore could handle 2 sets of nested parentheses, and it was always dramatic when you hit the = button, as it could take a few seconds to work out the answer. I had it in high school, so, 1974 and 75 I suppose.

Got the HP25 when they first came out. I REALLY wanted an HP55, but just didn't have the $$$.

Bought an HP41CV when they came out. Probably early 80s. It 'died' some years later, at the time I felt it was static electricity damage, now I look back and think broken screw post and intermittent electrical contact. It's long gone, whatever was wrong.

I can use RPN or algebraic. My cell phone (Droid Razr M) has a craptacular algebraic built in that is adequate. I'm carrying around a 41 these days now, hoping to have it recognized and start a conversation.

(I'm up to 7 HP41s now)

2speed HP41CX,int2XMEM+ZEN, HPIL+DEVEL, HPIL+X/IO, I/R, 82143, 82163, 82162 -25,35,45,55,65,67,70,80
