RPN-32 CE is a photo-realistic simulation of Hewlett-Packard's third-generation scientific calculator HP-32E.

Released in July 1978, the HP-32E was the mid-range scientific member of the so-called "Spice" series. It was discontinued in 1983.

RPN-32 CE is a massively enhanced, yet fully compatible version of the HP-32E. Unlike the original, it's also programmable.
