HP 12c and HP 12 cp at CES - Kalevipoeg - 01-09-2006

Have you read an interesting story of the HP 12c history at HP Newsroom

Link here

There is also a big image of the newest HP 12c platinum at HP Newsroom

Yes, it´s the 25th anniversary of the HP 12c

BTW it´s also the 90th anniversary of "Consul" The Educated Monkey (not a HP calculator :-) but I heard it is still in production)

Thanks Kalevipoeg - I hadn't seen it. I see the last sentence claims the platinum has "extra financial functions". I don't know what these are.

Now, that is cool. I'd never seen Consul before.
Cheers,

Well, isn't X^2 a financial function? :-)

Seriously (maybe), they may be thinking of the extra cash flow registers. Not really a function, but ...

Then again, they may not know the difference between extra functions and extra "financial" functions.
