I'm guessing Spain to California will result in an attempt to deliver the package to my office on Saturday, when it is closed. That's Murphy's Law at work. I hope to see it next Monday

Well, I was too pessimistic. :-) My HP-15C/CE arrived at my office about 3:30 this afternoon, so only 4 days from Barcelona to Fresno. Thanks Jose for the great service and thanks DHL for quick delivery. BTW, for those of you keeping score at home, my SN is 01437.

This machine is very well made and it was very nicely packaged. I really like the yellow printing on the face plate. It's so much easier to read than the dark orange printing on my HP-12C Platinum, which I bought several years ago because I "needed" a new toy. Someone should be flogged for selecting dark orange to print on a black background. Seriously flogged (but I'm not serious). :-)

The HP-15C/CE will not replace my SwissMicros DM42 and HP-48-G+ at work or my SwissMicros DM41X and HP-50g at home. However, it will get used quite a bit because I have a bunch of HP-34C programs from the end of my college days and start of my engineering career to try out. But, before I get to the useful stuff, I first entered the Foxes & Rabbits program, which I first saw in an article titled "An Example of HP-25 Programming". It's a whole lot faster than what I remember for my HP-34C.
