Reminds me of my first, professional, programming job. The Motorcycle dealer where I worked had an HP-?? (I forget which, but it had a magnetic strip reader for programming) and I managed to fit a Payroll Tax Calculation system on one card. Long after I quit that job, I'd get the calculator and the new tax rate tables in the mail with a check every year, and reprogram the new tables.
Many waters under that bridge<G>. Probably we are talking about 1976 or so. Yes, performing calculation on a non-RPN calculator is still very difficult. I can't imagine why RPN isn't standard - It's so intuitive. My dad bought an HP-35 ($395 in the early 1970's) and I've been an RPN kinda guy ever since.
