I still have my HP-15 and HP-16 calculators, bought in the mid-eighties. Both still work perfectly well, and take up little space in my briefcase, and, of course, use RPN. HP -- at least before Carly Fiorino -- made solid hardware; I've heard their quality has gone downhill since Hewlett nor Packard stopped being involved in the company's operations.
