Off topic: HP-41 and RPN. I've used my HP-41 for about 20 years. Had it overhauled once -- battery corrosion. I was in the middle of negotiating a car lease when the salesperson asked to borrow a calculator. I handed him my old HP-41 and he started punching in numbers. After a half dozen keystrokes, he paused. I knew what must have been going through his mind. Anyway, he then had to rely on me to perform the calculations for him. This put him in unfamiliar territory and shifted some advantage toward me. At the very least, it cut out a lot of the bafflegab, and the snowjob ended then and there. Hope they continue offering RPN. Cheerios, PW.
