…because you’ll never be able to use an infix calculator again. (Same reason you should never use a Dvorak keyboard.) Having used the HP 12C for a couple years now, I instinctively enter my numbers before the operator, and… nothing happens! I can’t tell you how much lost work I have because of that.
Luckily, a good ole RPN calculator is only a click away!

I agree with you about the Dvorak keyboard. I switched at HMC and have regretted it ever since I started working at JPL. It is such a pain to deal with keyboard switching at work on every computer I use. Also, the iPhone doesn’t support Dvorak keyboard unless you apply some jailbreak hack.
