Before and after? These days, you can emulate most things on most other things. (I’m typing this in Firefox on Windows XP in a VirtualBox on Ubuntu, having just done the above photos in GIMP on the Linux box.) So you can carry your precious HP-15C (as Craig Lea says, “I’ve had a relationship with this thing longer than I have with my wife!”) or you can use the hpcalc-iphone emulator on your pocket general-purpose computer running Unix that also happens to make phone calls.
The HP-10C series is legendary with good reason.

(Yes, a week off for Christmas is enough. Back to daily now. Leads on good shots most welcomed.)
