Yes there was a big jump. As I write this the count is currently 184 signers from 30 different countries claiming they would buy 1,378 HP 15C calculators if HP started making them again. Seems a few people want to buy a lot of them. A quick check of the DB reveals that 11 people are going to buy 1,050 of the 1,378. With 7 of those buying 100 or 150 each.
The interesting thing is that everyone claiming to be willing to buy more than 20 lives out side the USA, maybe they know of a big market over seas that HP has no clue about. However if you drop out those 11 people and their 1,050, you are left with about 1.9 calculators per person. Which I think is reasonable. I have some comment that they would buy one for every engineer at their company and one in Germany that said he could make it the standard at his University.
My favorite quote is from Paul in NC, "my 15c was the nerve center of my greatest achievements."
