Calculators I have loved

I'd seen alotta calculators, but these never escaped my mind ... B. Dialed-In See also The Museum of HP Calculators

My first calculator, HP-21. Love at first sight, really.
Bought: High or Junior High, in Morristown, NJ.
Retirement: Used it throughout MIT. The rechargable batteries wore out.
My second calculator, HP-15C. Try to get one today. $200 on ebay.
Bought: NY NY (probably 47-st photo), while at Medical Labs Automation.
Retirement: eventually lost it in Miami. It survived a throwing across the classroom.
My current companion, HP-12C. A thing of beauty.
Bought: Office Max on Bird, Miami. It was a return. I could almost hear the first owner: "Where's the equals?!"

As of today (2015) that's still it. I still carry the HP-12C.
