Luis…
I'm afraid it would be too much to ask for a forgotten 15C. I was there a couple of weeks ago…my oldest daughter--a junior at CSUF--used her student ID so I could get a copy of Adobe Acrobat at a decent price. I saw several HPs on display (48GII, 49G+, and a couple of others, but alas, no 15C). Current bookstore staff knows virtually nothing about calculators, so they probably wouldn't know if they had a hidden gem. However, back in the late 70s, there were a couple of people there who were pretty well informed about HPs (one guy I knew--he was a physics major).
As a practicing civil engineer who uses his HP42S evey day (and sometimes my 48G+ or HP-32Sii) along with Excel, Mathcad, Autocad, etc, I know how valuable it is to have a well-built RPN calculator. A world without would be a dull world indeed.
