I had to look it up...
Reverse Polish notation (RPN), also known as Polish postfix notation or simply postfix notation, is a mathematical notation in which operators follow their operands, in contrast to Polish notation (PN), in which operators precede their operands. It does not need any parentheses as long as each operator has a fixed number of operands. The description "Polish" refers to the nationality of logician Jan Łukasiewicz,[1] who invented Polish notation in 1924.[2][3]

The reverse Polish scheme was proposed in 1954 by Arthur Burks, Don Warren, and Jesse Wright[4] and was independently reinvented by Friedrich L. Bauer and Edsger W. Dijkstra in the early 1960s
..... No Polishman in the list. :)

Uh, yeah, I still don't know what it means...:bag:

Let's just say math was NOT my forte in my school days - I got past it, but just barely. I did eventually get one of those Texas Instruments wonder calculators that cost a MINT in the mid 70's...

I had a high faluten TI in college circa ‘76, then later got a HP41C in engineering grad school in ‘85. Saw many newer models as the years passed and young engineers came to work with us. All still were RPN. So much clearer when plugging in formula values. Later, it took real concentration to revert to a TI standard notation. Still have that 41C and several application packs.
I am going to have to check out the iPhone apps with RPN! That would be very handy.

Hey, Crack! Jake hit the nail on the head! ... Browse the Fender Rumble Club and feel free to ask any questions that may help you decide, or to know what to expect. Also, browse the Fender Rumble Club Wiki page, linked in my signature (too), for everything you could ever want to know about Rumbles. As JakobT mentioned, some people have a problem with the XLR Out being post EQ only, and being post Master Volume and messing up the FOH settings! See the Rumble XLR Out Volume Levels section of the Rumble Wiki for real life experiences, tests and experiments to calm the hysteria. Also, see the Rumble Extension Cabs section to see what they look like, if you're thinking of adding one of those, because the 115 and 210 cabs are different sizes that some OCD people find frustrating. And the Rumble Talks section gives valuable background, tips and in-depth descriptions of Rumble features, spec.s and attributes. Plus lots more!

Good luck! Hope this helps. :thumbsup:

My friend has two kids that are primary age, and he and his have decided to home school for the upcoming year. I think they can handle it. She is a stay at home mom and he has a Ph D in math. I'm a little jealous, but I think my son will be okay. He goes into kindergarten this Fall.

Are you concerned? I know a good number of primary and secondary teachers, and they are anxious.

Hi Doc! We’ll all think good thoughts for your little guy. As far as what I think, it seems to change every day. Overall, I think I’ll feel better when the urchins come walking in the room Monday morning.

I’ve had my fill of adults for a while. It was a long week with lots of meetings, a million guidelines that get revised literally by the day, and hearing it over and over that it’s gonna be for a short time and then we’ll all be online.

I historically hate August and all the mumbo-jumbo during inservice time, but feel much better when I actually get back to doing what I better than discuss bass combos!

Be safe to you and all our brethren.

After lurking on the posts from the Combo Club for quite a while, I respectfully request a number. I have my trusty old Peavey TKO 80 with my brand new GK Legacy 112, along with my Fender Precision and Hofner 500/1, in the attached photo.

So, is the keyboard photoshopped?:smug:
