There are lots of usability issues involved in small personal devices like calculators, phones, etc.
It makes deciding 'the best one' something like a weighted decision matrix. And the weights can vary from person to person.

I sincerely WISH I could settle on a single best calculator. I haven't been able to do that, so I end up cycling through my machines, with one 'on the deck' ready to go at any given moment. And yes, there is a 15C in that mix. A good machine, but lacks other features that keeps it from being number one for me.

The search goes on...
How many closets should I allocate to this hobby anyway?

That's so true. The 15C is my perfect shirt pocket companion in meetings -- just what I need, but small & light. At my desk I have a HP16C, HP12C, DM42, and Casio Classpad II. I have them all in this little desktop mail sorter. Wink

At one point I had about 40 calculators. I'm down to 14 now.

I'm not sure what's my favorite programmable. I like the 42S and RPL. Guess I'm wierd.
