How much has RPN/RPL spoiled you?

So I read the manual, especially the part about RPN and the stack, and about an hour after I bought it, I was comfortable and never looked back.

I went through this way... twice!

First when I got my HP48G in my fisrt year in the Engineering School, as it was said to be the best (well, GX was even better, but the budget was limited). BEEP! Too few arguments.

When I finished my degree, it went to a drawer (fortunately without batteries) for several years. During this time I used a cheapo-casio, until I needed to do some complex number calculations. I rescued it, re-learnt RPN, then got a 30B for daily use in the office, then get a 17BII (pioneer), then a 32SII... and much more!
