Those who find old computer hardware boring may wish to pass over this Flickr set of my current collection[1]

By far the coolest item there is the HP65 - that would be a RPN calculator, non? One of my tutors had (presumably still has) one used for day-to-day calculations.

It is indeed RPN. Has a little motor drive in it - you feed it magnetic cards on one side, and it spits them out the other. Still works perfectly.

It's running, um, IRIX something-or-other. It's been a while since I turned it on. Less visible in that photo are an Indigo and an Indigo 2 (huge purple beast that sounds like a jet engine).
