Once more: Happy birthday, HP 41C!

[Thomas Okken]

On the low end of "several" with two: a 41C, purchased in 1979, in the week they were first sold in the Netherlands, and a 41CX, purchased in '83 or '84. Both were sold ages ago, the 41C to help finance the 41CX, and the 41CX when I got fed up with the calculator hobby and sold off all of them at once. That didn't last, and I got back into it with a couple of RPL machines, 28S and 48G, before settling on the 42S. I did create a small collection by buying a couple of vintage machines on eBay later (25, 67, 10C), but never got another 41. Maybe I'll fix that some day, if I stumble across a nice fullnut 41CX. Or a 41C, because let's face it, I would be buying it more because of nostalgia than for its functionality.
