The problem with that calculator is that while it may be powerful as
hell, it's a PITA to unleash that power when it happens to use reverse
polish notation and has plenty of buttons besides which are labeled with
terms you've never heard before. So you end up deciding that you'd be
faster (and have a better chance of retaining your sanity besides) using
some other, less powerful brand of calculator, than wrapping your head
around that one which /would/ spit out the result at the press of a
single button if you only knew which of the gazillions. (Ever seen
Pixar's "Lifted" short?)
