Hi,

I am not sure when I got mine, It was quite likely in the early 197x years.

We had a problem doing the group buy of the HP 16C's because Pacific 
telephone decided to buy one for each of their engineers which was a large 
drain on the early supply.

What is interesting is that I saw one or more of the same calculators for 
sale at Fry's the other day. I did not check the model number.

There were / are four of which I have two.

HP 16C - Hex, Octal, Decimal, Binary Calculator. Purchase early 197x years.

HP 15C - Scientific Calculator. Purchase date 84/06/15.

-------------
Finance Calculator

A lessor Scientific Calculator
------------------------

All are programmable and built like a tank.

Pricely at the time but very well worth the extra cost.

Hi. Does anyone know if there was ever a Hexadecimal calculator and
where to get one?
I know a spreadsheet is great for this but sometimes my job requires to
do some simple boolean hex math in the field, on the plant floor, not
the place for a PC, not even a laptop (unless it's
dust/water/petro/food/scalding/freezing proof). A calculator of sorts
would be great.
