I still have my 15C and would never part from it. I use it as my everyday desk calculator. I've also a 12C, 28S, and 48SX. The 48 was my constant companion through engineering school and it really hurt back then to buy it, but I never regretted it. The 15C was my first HP, though, and it has a special place in my heart!

Crazy to have an emotional attachment to a calculator, but it was really a perfect machine. I'm sure you guys on this forum know this, but the keys on these calculators where not painted. The colored markings on the keys are different colors of plastic that were molded in during the key molding process using a very complex bit of tooling. The result is a key that never wears off. The tactile key press on the 12/15 was never duplicated, in my opinion. It was the last gasp of industrial-quality calculators.

Apple is one of the only companies now that achieve that elegance in the design of electronics.

I hope they make more so you can get one!
