Rafael, what a lovely homage to the HP-35!
I still have several HP calculators (a 35, a 64, a couple of 41s and two 12cs) and keep a 41 and 12c here at my desk for daily use. I realize it sounds terribly old-fashioned, but despite having masses of computing power available to me, I still find the calculator form factor superior for simple calculation tasks.
And re HP specifically, I cannot imagine using a non-RPN calculator. For em, RPN is what made - and continues to make - the original HP calculators a true stand-out from all other calculators. Sadly, the current HP-branded calculators no longer offer true RPN-only options. Proof I am afraid that technlogy does not always advance forward!
As HP afficionados are fond of observing, "ENTER > =" ! ;-)
