| 1268229 | 2012-04-03 14:27:00 | I'm looking for an HP 16C calculator (see attached image) - secondhand is fine, provided it's in reasonable nick and still fully functional. Does anyone know where I can purchase one of these, or have one they'd like to get rid of? |

| 1268232 | 2012-04-03 22:21:00 | Looks like it's relegated to museums (www.hpmuseum.org), Erayd! :D Or you could try here: www.ebay.com |

| 1268233 | 2012-04-03 23:13:00 | Looks like it's relegated to museums (www.hpmuseum.org), Erayd! :DHP discontinued this model in 1989, so quite possibly! Or you could try here: www.ebay.com listings all seem to be asking several times the original price! The brand new cost was approx $135 US over 20 years ago. I'd also prefer not to use ebay. My preference would be to purchase it from somewhere in NZ, however I'll consider importing it if that doesn't seem possible. |

| 1268235 | 2012-04-04 04:12:00 | how about a 15C ?? they are doing them new again... www.shopping.hp.com 15C is a nice calculator, but it's missing a whole heap of features that the 16C has, and I need (e.g. different radix modes, bitwise operations etc). I'm not just looking for a good scientific calculator, I'm after the 16C specifically - but if you can suggest another RPN calculator with the same features I'm open to alternatives. |

| 1268236 | 2012-04-04 04:18:00 | Got a smart phone per chance? There is a proper HP app for the 12C on the apple app store, might be what you're after on the android or windows phone store. | Alex B (15479) | ||

There is a proper HP app for the 12C on the apple app store, might be what you're after on the android or windows phone store.I do - I use this (play.google.com) at the moment - but the whole reason I'm looking for an actual calculator is I'm sick of constantly using a smartphone app for it. I use it a lot, and having to unlock the phone and start the calculator app every time gets old real fast ;). Edit: The 12C also can't do what I'm after (it's a financial calculator) - I need either the 16C (my preferred option), or something with the same features. |

| 1268238 | 2012-04-04 08:20:00 | Bound to be some advanced calculators online in a repository or university site. Try Martindales Online (www.martindalecenter.com) or Wolfgram Alpha (http://www.wolframalpha.com/) computational search engine for calculations Might be some in NZ research institutes and Universities. I used to see calculators stashed in forestry research, DSIR, industrial labs, etc. |
