Don't top post.
The HP15C is wondrous - slim, capable, programmable, and with a
15-year battery life. RPN of course! Four functions; trig and
inverse trig; log, ln, exponentials, and inverse; factorial;
fancy stuff and programmable. No hex. HP keys are double
injection molded not painted. As a key wears down its label
stays distinct.
Uncle Al's HP15C has worn keys. It's been 20 years or more.
Check out the prices on E-Bay for a used one - outrageous! Worth
every penny. If you have your 15C you can be a hero while others
are struggling with their fancy useless crap.
