HP-12C 25th Anniversary Contest
HP is running a contest to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the venerable 12C financial calculator:
The HP 12C was the world’s first horizontal financial calculator. Its innovative design and breakthrough Reverse Polish Notation (RPN) entry forever changed the way students and professionals reach their goals. After 25 years, this iconic calculator is still sold under its original name and model number and retains its world-famous horizontal design.
Yes, but ... the color scheme has changed, and Kinpo now manufactures the calculator. According to various newsgroup posts, the key feel has degraded and reliability, to put it charitably, is not what is once was.
