cheapest RPN calculator there is

I love RPN calculators, and can't imagine life with an algebraic. That being said, I've used an HP 48GX for ten years, and love it. But I never used the graphics or programming capabilities any more, and when I saw what they were selling for on eBay, I sold the dang thing.

I figured I could replace it with a cheap RPN calculator form TI or Casio, but was shocked that as far as I can tell, only HP makes RPN calculators. With some misgivings, I bought the HP 33s.


THE DECIMAL POINT ISSUE. I read a lot about the decimal point in reviews before buying this, and I was wary to buy the calculator because of what some people say is the invisible decimal point. All I can say is they are nuts. The decimal point is small, sure, but it's clearly visible. I never have trouble seeing it or guessing whether it's there.

All in all, I probably spent 25$ extra dollars over an equivalent TI or Casio, just so I could get RPN, but it was worth it. I recommend this calculator.
