I prefer this: $ echo '4 k 12 13000 / p' | dc Probably because it's reverse Polish and I'm from Poland ;) |

jezuch: HP RPN calculators rocked my world for almost a decade. Then I forgot how to program the darn things and it was all over :( (Really I left engineering for IT and never looked back). |

I always preferred RPN calculators - to me it's like the difference between unix and windoze. RPN just feels right, and after you're used to it, the algebraic calculator feels clunky and toyish. Another great feature of RPN calculators is that nobody wants to borrow your calculator! |
