Hey, this ATM is 73 (oldest? <g>).  I fooled my wife long ago, said I 
wanted to get a 4-function calculator, cost $100.  She said, "Nah, wait 
'till HP comes out with theirs."  It cost $400 <hee, hee>.  Anyway, I too 
fell in love with RPN, and, not quite so long ago, 10 years, wrote a DOS 
program that emulates an RPN calculator.  It has a slight improvement - you 
can save a sequence of operations and do them again with "Run" - real handy 
for doing a quicky Newton's method rather than trying to remember how to 
write an Excel script:

(2005-06-24, DOS, 39.7 k)

Good ol' DOS - it would be 10-20 times as big and have to be zipped up if 
it were Windos.  You'll have to be in its directory and type "calc" at the 
DOS prompt to get it instead of Windows' calc (or type the full path in the 
Start | Run window).
