Thank you to disclose the information, Katie; I for one was not known about this sad fact.
You are correct about considering the 'dark side' workers this way. In fact, we do need to go too deep to see the truth: there is no such 'dark side' now. HP produces Algebraic-only models since the Pioneers (HP10B, HP14B, HP20S, HP27S...) and had TI introduced RPN-based models, we`d be comparing them with HP`s counterpars. AFAIK, based on all of what we read here, 'the dark side' actually keeps track with its own way since they are in portable, pocket-size calculators business...
Best regards.
