N/A 1/8/2010 1:33:38 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 5/5	Rating: 5/5Great calculator..... Pros: I've owned my HP 12C since March 1982. That's almost 28 years of continuous service and it's still going strong. I didn't realize until today (8 January 2010) that this calculator is still being manufactured. Longevity alone makes this an incredible buy. Mine was US$125 back in 1982 so at today's prices it's a steal. Try it, you'll like it. Cons: None 3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you?
