My collection of RPN calculators. Sadly I have no reason to ever use them.

Nice collection. I'm jealous. I missed out on the 15C re-release when it was available. I don't really have a use for it, but I really did want one.

I've got a couple of 12Cs and an 11C. I use them occasionally, whenever I need to do some maths that's not complicated enough to warrant firing up Excel but too much for my feeble mental maths.


I don't remember how I was lucky enough to find out about the 15C in advance, but I jumped all over that.

Several years ago I took a university final and the requirement was a non-programmable calculator. I looked on eBay and discovered how expensive an 11C would be, so I went to the professor and explained that I was by this point in life incapable of using an algebraic calculator and pleaded to be able to use one of my HPs instead. Thankfully he didn't care.


That Commodore looks really cool. Thanks for sharing.


Amazing what you can find on eBay once you know it exists.
