      Uhhh... inaccurate. That should be:

      IN SOVIET RUSSIA
      Government overthrows YOU!!!!

      If you think about it... that's actually a pretty correct statement both in terms of Yakov's humor AND Communism.

      i was trying to be realistic. In 1917, the people overthrew the govt. to have communism, in 1989 the people overthrew the govt. to have capitalism.

      maybe one day they will get it right and overthrow all governments and have anarchism.

    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!)

    I just like that they tried something new. Not a huge breakthrough, but it's a clever idea. What I really like, as mentioned, was the low price. The Casio 9850 seemed to sell for about USD 65-70 when the TI-92 was USD 90.
