Can we have RPN back?

However, if the old automatic lift functionality had been present as an option on the RPL family (enabled, say, by a flag), I might've enabled it. Who knows?

Hah, interesting. Never used a "classic" RPN machine before, been through all RPL models from 48 onwards.

Now i'm tempted to buy one from ebay or, heck, even buy a 35s, just to play with it and see how i like it.

Thing is, over time, i got used to using the stack as a scratchpad, i.e. i grew used to "multitasking" with it (multiple calculations, results left over from previous calculations and labeled, lots of rolls, dups, drops and picks, stores and recalls from vars). Which is why i can't seem to wrap my head around the RPN way of doing things
