EE Pros: Is RPN still relevant?

Are you aware that the SwissMicro devices are less than half the size (in area) of an original HP-15C? I think you may need pointy fingers.
HP-15C: ~130 x 95 mm2
DM15: 88 x 59 mm2

The DM15 (non-L) version is the small version with the plastic dome keys. However the L ("Large") version is near the original size: 129x79x13mm. It also has normal (apparently pretty good) keys, and is a bit more expensive.

It's a one to one emulation of one of the best (IMHO) HP calculators.

So, I think I understand now... Get, and learn how to use an old RPN calculator because it's effective, and secondly, it's a nod to the current generation of EE masters. It might be worth a bit of street cred on a new guy's work station down the road.

Ah! Thanks. The SwissMicros site is somehow a bit "lobotomized", several of the links don't work.
