The hate part comes from the experience of "upgrading" your trusted HP-67 or HP-41 to an HP-28 or HP-48 and then finding out that even after working through a 1000-page manual you were still unable to write a program for it.

I think it is genetically coded somehow. There are people who can understand/master RPL and then there are those (like me) who simply can't, no matter how hard they try. This is really frustrating, especially if one does really well in his field of work otherwise. They paid me for writing software and equations for building airliners, but I can not write a simple program to solve a quadratic equation in RPL. It is totally beyond me.
