Comments there are closed, so I'll put this here. Earlier comments said the TI-59's card reader was unreliable. I have two 59's, and never, ever had any problem with the card reader producing errors. Maybe because I handled the cards by the edges and never touched the recording surface?
I would not agree that if the 59 was the Fred Astaire of calcs, the 41 is the Ginger Rodgers. The 41 was of course a big step up from the 59 in so many ways.
I still use my 41cx every day, now with Diego's Clonix-D module and a couple of Angel's new ROM images, one being of a version he put out just three months ago.

But was it not said that Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did, but backwards, and in high heels?

I did catch that part, but I guess I misunderstood it to be a criticism of the way RPN does it, as if RPN were backwards and thus idiotic, and that the 59 were a more-major star. Fred Astaire of course had a lot of other dance partners too, like Rita Hayworth, Leslie Racon, and Jane Powell, although Ginger Rodgers was probably most famous for dancing with him.
