I would call it a compromise between economics and providing an acceptable model. I stick with my assumption of economics and acceptance as the cause and doubt his popularity as a reason for his choice. And even though I would prefer an HP-41CE as a retro model, I think choosing the 15c was the better economic decision from HP.

I think instead the 15c le/ce represents a group of popular calculators and his own popularity emerged from this fact. The 15c ce represents the historical RPN line what could have been realized differently. I am sure that a more aesthetic 35s (fewer bad design decisions) or a generic model (eg. a 32SII in an Voyager design) would have this position today if HP had decided on such a retro model about 10-20 years ago. My calculators - former: CBM PR100, HP41CV, HP11C, HP28S - current: HP48G, HP35S, Prime, DM41X, DM42, HP12C |
