Re Bring back the HP15C ! Message #1 Posted by Valentin Albillo on 20 Oct 2006, 6:57 a.m. Hi all, Seems at leat one company took this plea to heart and has brought into the market new, updated versions not only of the HP15C but the HP10C as well (to cater for less wealthy potential buyers, I guess), including some new, revolutionary capabilities while getting rid of others which are best served by modern computationally able devices. Have a look at this detailed brochure and see for yourselves. Meat for thought, indeed. Best regards from V. ;-)

I guess, I was wrong by saying that the HP15C will never come back!!! I am (in the words of the Fonz) suuzuuuuuu!!! Any plans for an HP41C and HP42S????? :-) Namir Edited: 20 Oct 2006, 7:30 a.m.

Message #3 Posted by Eric Smith on 20 Oct 2006, 2:24 p.m., in response to message #2 by Namir While I certainly am glad to see the HP10C and HP15C making a comeback, I think this company's technology needs some improvement before they will be wildly successful products. Although the products look very well engineered, the are far too large and heavy to fit in a pocket. Also they appear to require AC power to operate, rather than batteries. But it's certainly a good start!

Re: Re Bring back the HP15C ! Message #7 Posted by Karl Schneider on 21 Oct 2006, 1:40 p.m., in response to message #1 by Valentin Albillo Hi, Valentin -- Thanks for excellent gag, which I might call a "teaser prank", since I don't know a better term. Besides the "meat for thought" and the winking emoticon, the sharp-eyed among us might have noted Valentin's omission of the hyphens in the model names ("not only of the HP15C but the HP10C as well") as well as the curious statement "getting rid of other (capabilities) which are best served by modern computationally able devices" -- as though anything ought to have been removed outright from the HP-15C. Yes, there were ample clues that the information was not to be taken at face value. -- KS
