A long time ago, I worked for the HP Calculator support...made so many people happy by teaching them RPN.

Almost exactly like the freedom from unreasonable searches. Ty

This is a terrible idea. When someone gives me something like this I have to try and remember that it’s not their fault and that they were probably using some kind of oracle extract.
