I have a HP48GX scientific calculator for several years and love it
even though I'm not much of a mathematician.  My question is could
something like this not be put on a CD and run on a laptop?  I have
searched for a long time for the equivalent of the HP48GX that I could
run on a computer.  Since the computer has much more memory and power
than the calculator it seems what I'm looking for should be out there.
I realize there's several giant math programs out there but can any of
these be actually programmed in RPN (reverse polish notation) like the
HP series?  I hope I'm overlooking something right in front of me.  Is
this a dificult thing?  Thanks.

Along with efn-ga, I would guess that the "laptop" in question runs
some flavor of Windows.  However someone might be interested in an RPN
calculator for Linux, so here are a few more links:

[RPN calculators for Linux]
http://www.tldp.org/linuxfocus/English/January2004/article319.shtml

Surveys the field, from text-based to GUI-based HP emulations.

[GRPN]

Uses an X-Windows interface.

In a platform independent vein there are several Javascript-based RPN
calculators can be used from a browser, as for example:
