Hhmm, back in my early days, the 12C was highly coveted by financial
types. Our mileage differed.
By the way, HP will sell you an Android app'n that looks just like their
venerable (and much missed) calculators.

I've
been using my trusty HP-42S for so long that I can hardly
remember how to use a "normal" calculator :-)
When my classmate's
calculator died during an engineering exam, he
asked if he could borrow my spare. I handed him my HP 32s and after
a minute he whispered, "Where's the equals key?" He gave my
calculator back. :-)
