CEO of Royal Bank of Scotland uses an HP - Nigel Bamber - 11-04-2009
In yesterday's Lomdon Evening Standard , there was a picture of Stephen Hester at his desk at RBS on which there was a HP voyager calculator - no doubt a HP12C.

At least the 12C can be used to display the number of Lehman Brothers options owned by RBS (approx.)
