I have a 12c too. Definitely the right tool for financial calculations. I just think the 15c is a more impressive machine overall. Not to say the 12c is a slouch, it’s not easy doing math when the significant digits are separated by many decimal points. It’s just cool having a calculator do operations on complex numbers (the 15c will give you a square root of -1) and matrices.

55,000 people lost their jobs so some big stock holders can make money. A company needs people to make things. I figure that HP is planning on going out of business.

41CX and modded to run at double or normal speed. Speed is switchable by holding a magnet to the base of it.

These (anything with maroon tabs)has origins from Compaq. A closer inspection will show “Made in China’.

But there are plenty of jobs for so called “tech” workers from India, China, Pakistan, Africa and Islamic enemy nations, etc. The economy is doing wonderfully! The Democrats/Republicans even have these people working in vital defense industries and even in the US Government. Peace and happiness and prosperity abound for everyone ... (if you’re not a white American that is.)

12c for business and 15c for science.

Two great machines.

Name another 30 year old technology tool that is still the best available???? The 12c was introduced in 1981

They were “da bomb” back in the eighties.
So was Sony, once.

Now neither are.
Laurel resting seldom ends well for technology companies.

HP needs David Packard (its cofounder) back as chair. When they took over Compaq it was when HP started downhill.

Yes, her actions directly put HP on the disaster that continues today.... Just like Jimmy Carter left the presidency in 1980 yet we are still dealing with a Terrorist Iran!

Carly’s time at the helm destroyed a once great american innovation firm, and sadly I doubt it will ever recover.
