Top three calculators ?

[KD8TZC]

Great old thread...

For me, the #1 spot changes from time to time as I will just keep one on my desk, and that generally is the #1 I use.

1 - HP41CV
2- HP12C
3- Free42S

#1 was one of the first HP's that I ever saw in HS and just wanted it as it was so cool at the time.

#2 I got my first year in business school and served me all the way through and well into my career. I still use it, and it is like a good ole friend that you just like to spend time with.

#3 I love as I wish I actually had a real 42S, but this I have on my phone and is my goto when I need to do things when I am away from my desk. I sometimes will use another HP iPhone app (10bII HD) for financial calculations as well, but I use that far less.

I didn't list a #4, but there are a number of other HP's that I rotate through on my desk too... HP15C, 16C, HP35S, HP45 (great when it is darker as it has nice bright RED numbers), HP21, and a few others.
