by tremendo 9y ago
Right, where RPN really shines is in more complex operations where other calculators need parenthesis to group sub-operations, whereas you can just push stuff up the stack, and it in turn can be rolled, swapped… definitely a nerds' too

Sadly in Phoenix you'll find the streets entirely free of people year-round. Even when the weather is nice (Oct-Apr). I am one who walks, and often wonder if I'm just crazy when I notice I'm pretty much the only human not ins

You're obviously peddling the phone (your username, 2-hrs-old account). But I want to know, how you have Android 7 on the G4? mine has 6.0.1 and there are no pending updates. Other than that, very happy with this phone.
