i'm curious about the reason behind having 7 pieces of the same calculator. can i be a bit nosy and ask why?

For the first point, it's of no use - I offered him 6€, fully twice what he paid, but he declined...

:)

For the second point, if it has to be explained, the answer(s) probably will not help your understanding... :)

Just a little teeny bit of calculator acquisition syndrome :D

i could go further and offer 5 folds what he paid even though i might be called insane for it! so a full 15€

for the second point, the answer(s) might not help with understanding, everyone is entitled to their quirks. i am only curious : )

I bought a 27S the day the local dealer received their first shipment, without knowing anything about it, and in particular, not knowing that it wasn't RPN. What a disappointment!
