- I know which HP models I own (and which I don't)
- I very rarely use the ones I do have
- I rather want to keep the ones I do have

But I only have four HP calculators.

Yes! I told my family that I was not the only person on earth that was “enthusiastic” about calculators and this proves it. I bet they won’t be making fun of me ever again.

Sorry to go so far back in time, but I just have to respond...

#1 - @EdS2, in my humble opinion, you're qualified to call yourself a collector if you want to. Or an enthusiast. (I draw the line at "Grand High Emperor of the Galaxy," however.) This based on your willingness to buy something that's broken, and the fact you've got an eye out for them when out "junking / antiquing."

#2 - @Steve Simpkin, LOL, don't count on it!! Because that's what I thought as well... :-O
