[Coco] Qualifications Committee Planed at CoCofest. Was: 6309 with a side of half cooked GIME?

[Aaron Wolfe]

I always wanted an HP 16C.  They still go for $150+ used on ebay.  I
do have a 48gx, which is RPN (and are probably still the best graphing
calculator ever made).  It's a shame HP has let their calculator
business go downhill, with most of the offerings in recent years being
cheaply made reincarnations of previous models.

Once you get used to RPN, a "normal" calculator is really painful to use.
