My 11C gave up the ghost 2 years ago. I was able to order a new 32SII thru HP via their website. At that time they had exactly 2 models that use RPN. One is a business model and the 32SII is a scientific model. Both were on backorder at HP for over 2 months. A couple of the customer service people at HP on-line didn't even know what RPN was, nor were they aware that HP was famous for it. I think that as useful and great as it is for calculations, and as much as those of us from middle age upward like it, it is in the final throes of its very existance. Y'all might want to buy a new calculator just to have in reserve for 5 or 20 years down the road.

Yikes, I had one of these: http://www.hpmuseum.org/32.jpg
My 11c is still working and I think I have a 28c around here somewhere (not to mention an old non-functional hanldheld card reader model - can't find that one on the website).
RPN is neat, is it gone?
