I remember in the mid-70’s being frustrated with HP calculators’ RPN-Reverse Polish notation.
However, it was a huge deal when HP came out with a calculator that didn’t lose it’s memory after it was turned off.

The reverse Polish notation seemed kooky at first but its utility became soon apparent and was by far the most efficient way to use a calculator for scientific purposes.
