I bought a 15C new. I still have it on my EE bench (replacing my slide rule, of course). Every 8 or 9 years I replace the three LR44 batteries. And writing little programs to tickle the Inner Nerd is always fun. HP: we miss you!
The device is reliable, the screen is amazing, the USB connectivity brings a lot of value and the community on SwissMicros' forum are passionate HP people.
I'm not affiliated with them in any way, just an happy geeky customer :)
Maybe I'll ask to be buried with them, so I can be dug up in a few thousand years and worry archeologists ;)
