The HP-1XC models, on the other hand, although slow
and battery-hungry by today's standards, you can learn *everything* on
once,
and you never forget it. Were I to sell it today (fat chance) it would
bring
nearly double what I paid for it. At my last engineering job I had young
engineers gasp when they saw it and say things like "Aren't you worried
someone will STEAL that? Do you know how much those go for on ebay now?"



That blew my mind! I never would have guessed my HP11C is worth more than I
paid for it twenty plus years ago!!
What do you mean by battery hungery?! My HP11C has the original 20+ year old
batteries in it! I have it laying in the tool box in the shop. I rarely use
it, but ran across it the other day and it is still working fine!
