@chockenberry I tolerate non-RPN users, but I would never let my daughter marry one.

@drdrang Is a TI-83+ a “real” calculator? -
@grahamwetzler Yes. TI’s feel cheap to me, but they’re real.

@drdrang I suppose I COULD use a spreadsheet to achieve the same result but internalizing the arithmetic would probably be the “correct” way -
@bccook Soulver OS X seems like a decent lightweight tool. But on iOS it requires too much switching between keyboards. -
@drdrang That’s a fair criticism. I certainly haven’t written any original sheets on iOS, but it’s been handy to execute known math as I do.

-
@drdrang I only ever need to do simple math. I love that is supports variables and saves sessions. -
@drdrang Guilty! Soulver works great for me to make sure I’m not making dumb math mistakes because otherwise I often did. -
@drdrang True! I bought it b/c “everyone” raved re: it. Hated it. PCalc is most natural for me, but use powerOne for its financial features. -
@drdrang Oh, the temptation to retweet :) But I haven't used it so won't be mean. -
@drdrang I’ve had it for years and never found any use for it. -
@drdrang I use my TI-86 a lot, but it's not always in my pocket. And PCalc can't edit history to change the answer. Thus, iPhone Soulver. -
@drdrang I break out Soulver when I will have to explain myself to someone who won’t understand m48+, or since you converted me, RPN PCalc. -
@drdrang Yep. Clearly non-engineers without any RPN experience. -
@drdrang from experience, if you haven't studied a science at university, you haven't mastered a real calculator -
@drdrang used my trusty HP 48G+ for 8 years and loved it. I’m now a Soulver guy, except when I do trigonometry -
@drdrang My defense is syncing a few sheets from the desktop app that calculate multiple values based on multiple variables. Handy for that.
