Received a beautiful HP-12C Prestige
Message #1 Posted by Kees van der Sanden on 22 Apr 2012, 11:04 a.m.

Hi All,

Last week I received a HP-12C Prestige as a gift from a MoHPC member.
The bronze color scheme looks very nice.
A very welcome item for my HP calculator collection.

Obrigado mais uma vez.

Cool! Another version of the 12-C!

So far I already know about the original, the 30th anniversary edition, the platinum edition, and I also saw one called the platinum anniversary edition somewhere online.

How many versions of the 12-C do there exist? I've never seen a website list all of them in a single list!

Given your name and signature, do you speak Dutch or Portuguese?

But the contrast and clarity are terrible, especially for the angled key faces...somewhat like what the 48G-series created.

Count me in on your vote. Even a darker, royal or navy blue would work.

I've got to agree with Mike....yuck! Now that is some left coast liberal design for sure.

I still would like to have a Voyager set all in Blue. The HP15C and the HP16C with blue case... Wish list!

Sorry folks, but I like it. I'll not redeem myself: I like it!
