I think warped is right though if you’re doing lots of parenthetical stuff with normal math then I can see the attraction of RPN.

Some of the stuff we were doing ended up 6 or more levels of parantheses deep so using RPN helped quite a bit. |

Very easy to lose count of parenthetical calculations which would result in rather odd (wrong) solutions.
