Although I must say I like the RPL machines too. The 'large as you need'
stack is IMHO a lot nicer than the fixed 4 level one. And the bit
operations are almost as good as those on the 16C. Certainly enough for
what I normally need.
Agreed, but there is a certain pride of ownership with the HP16C...the first and
(afaik) last "pocket" programmers calculator from HP. I use mine pretty
regularly calculating octal offsets for pdp11 test programs.
The mini-clone version is also useful, I have one at work.
