Finally bought an HP-41

[codex99]

I appreciate everyone's answers.

My first HP was (I think) a 32E that my Dad found for me at a garage sale. I used it in pharmacy school in the 1980s until it died during a test (I don't mean the batteries ran out, I mean the calculator died). After that no old LED calculators for me! I think I switched to a Casio or a Sharp or something like that for the rest of school.

Then after school, as I wrote, I bought the 48SX.

My dad was a mechanical engineer and for years he had a 15C as his desk calculator. I always wanted one, but he wasn't going to give his to me. Then, in the late 90s maybe, I saw one at a flea market. The guy wanted 25 dollars for it, at least that's what I thought he wanted, but I didn't have 25 dollars in cash so I tried to bargain. I said could you do better on the price? He looked at me and said are you serious? it's 25 cents, what do you want me to do? So that's how I got my 15C.

After my dad died I inherited his 15C and that is the calculator that's on my desk now. it's my favorite for obvious reasons
