Having used a Ti84+ and Casio FX83GT for my secondary education, and borrowing a HP32 from a classmate at university I really like the stack approach and rpn so I caved with a HP35s which mostly did the job but wasn't pocketable and a bit clumsy for me I found a HP32sii and snapped it up becoming my daily driver for a long time. It scratched an itch i didn't know i had, then wanting to expand my programming and plotting I didnt like the look of the 49g and the 50g being out of my budget I found a nice HP48G that sits on my desk for the more complex work where the RPL hits the needs as well as a "quick" plotter. Even managed to bond with the older grumpy engineers over the calculators and rpn. Im sure my collection will continue to grow.

This is the third picture of calculators I have seen in a week - sorry I'm having a moment here.

One of my best friends sent me pictures of his calculators, my dad sent me a picture of his calculator and now this.

I ain't mad, it's beautiful really. I love it. There's so much nostalgia in these and I love it.

But it's really made me question who I am as a person that I've gotten this multiple times now.
