Re: how to tell my 12c's manufactured date Message #3 Posted by Katie Wasserman on 8 May 2009, 10:22 p.m., in response to message #1 by mateo999
This isn't answering the question, See later in this thread for correction.

You have one of the new 12C's that are also referred to as the 12C+. It's functionally the same as the original 12C but runs 60 times faster! The downside is that it's limited to 20 cash flows since the firmware in the calculator is emulating a calculator from 1981 that only 203 bytes of user RAM.
The Anniversary Edition has a different CPU and different firmware. It has a lot more memory, algebraic mode (in addition to RPN), backspace correction and a few other features. It's faster than the original 12C but nowhere near as fast as the 12C+.
HP has replaced the original 12C with the 12C+ without repackaging it or even announcing this change.
