New HP50g

[CMarangon]

I am one ordinary boy that don't like RPN! :-)
RPN is tolerated by me.

I prefer algebraic mode, for daily calculus.

During my college times I went to the exams with HP48 and another calculator (Casio FX-5000F) used for simple calculus.

I'm afraid I came rather late to the party, only becoming aware of RPN earlier this year, but I adore the way it makes you be the driver of your own car, rather than phoning for an algebraic taxi, so to speak.

Today my still boxed and sealed HP50g arrived. I can't tell how old it is from the serial number, but it is in pristine condition and works fine. I believe the seller still has a few more of these in stock, if anyone is interested. It's a UK shop called calculatorsdirect.co.uk and costs 175.20 GBP including VAT. It's the Chinese made version.

The HP50g is the nearest thing to a dream come true for me: an RPN calculator that has Forth. RPL does seem to be ever so similar to Forth, and I anticipate much enjoyment in learning this particular language.

Best regards,
