Hi,
Yes, similar memories, I still have my Sun-Hemmi slide rule, in case with instruction book. And, a Chambers' 7 figure log tables !
I shied away from RPN and stuck with a conventional Texas Instruments SR-52. It eventually failed, and I repaired it with a blob of solder on the printed board. I wish now I'd kept it. It was a revelation in 1976 and cost an absolute fortune then.
Haha I think shelloil was one of the things the slick salesman showed me.
Cheers
