However, it wouldn't hurt to get your kid an RPN calculator.  That way
he will not have to make the transition to RPN when he is ready for
the 28S(extrapolated 10 years, of course).  HP makes reasonably inexpensive
calculators that would be a good match for him.

The best thing that ever happened to me when I was young was when my
algebraic calculator broke and I had to borrow my Dad's company calculator
(an HP-21).  Obviously, I never went back to the repaired calculator.
