Hello fellow dc user! I use it as my default calculator and even in shell scripts I'm all "sum=$(echo $a $b + p | dc)" (though it is usually a much more complex expression of course)
I still have my HP48SX RPN calculator too!

What are the chances all four of us would find the same thread? It’s so fast, so reliable, so omnipresent. Between that and being able to turn multiplication into addition by working in powers of two, I get answers while my colleagues are still waiting for excel to start.
(and it sure beats a magnetised needle and a steady hand)
Glad you like it!
