There are 6 venues running as of this moment. Thanks to the folks at Vorbis and their CVS we are rocking. See sxsw.com/music/livestreams."

    May I ask a really stupid question:

    Why exactly are you arguing about RPN or algebraic calculators in this, and seemingly every, other thread.

    I have two comments on the subject:

    -RPN does seem convinent for certain tasks, but algebraic notation is convinent on graphical calculators because you can write up an intricate calculation in a familiar form, making proofing easy.

    -If I want RPN, what are my choices anyway? HP or HP? I happen to like Casios-- they're dirt-cheap (often 2/3 the price of the analogous TI) and have some clever features (colour!)
