Bringing back the HP15C is an interesting idea. It is indeed a wonderful
calculator.
Concerning battery life, you say "They will run the 15C for over a year,
many have gone more than 10 years on the same set of batteries." Well,
perhaps you'd be interested to know that my 15C's are _still_ running on
their original batteries! (Of course, the fact that I have more than one
15C and the fact that I don't use calculators much at all nowadays surely
have something to do with the long battery life I've witnessed.)
