Who has the lowest 15C LE Limited Edition Number?
Message #1 Posted by Jandro Kirkish on 11 Sept 2011, 7:19 p.m.

Are the Limited Edition numbers sequential? Assuming they are, I thought we could do a rather silly poll: Who has the lowest number? Mine is 00158. (Also this could be a sign that indeed HP might indeed be making only 10,000 of these.)

Guilty as charged, Namir ;) But truly I am enjoying the front side even more. I missed out on buying the original so it's a real treat playing around with this machine. Not to mention it is the first HP calculator I've owned that actually fits in my pocket!

I am glad you are happy with your HP-15 LE. I am sure it's a nice machine. I will find out for myself tomorrow! An who knows, maybe even brag about my serial number.

Why not get a punch and add a minus sign to the start of your serial number? Or precede it with a decimal mark?

I'm hoping for a non-integer value myself. Or better yet, complex or irrational.

S/N 01664 from buy.com. Would be more appropriate for an HP-16C LE ;-) Fortunately I own a 16C I bought new, cause I doubt there is the market for a rerun of these.

I confirmed that the 34s flashing cable plugs in just fine. Maybe there'll be a holiday present in the form of a firmware update.

If buy.com received sequentially numbered machines, then the numbers reported here might indicate they have sold close to 2000 units!
