That does look nice!

I still have my trusty HP-45 which I bought new in 1974, but have
not used it in years.  It needs new NiCads and could really use
a new charger too.

I also have the rare HP-16C "computer scientist".  After 20+ years,
it is only on its 3rd set of batteries.  (Third set went in a few
weeks ago.)  So much for LEDs vs LCDs...

Kids of today just don't appreciate RPN...
