Well, you have 8 of your 15 minutes left, according to my watch. Enjoy!
Cheers

Spartan + artsy = spartsy.
Couldn't find the HP-35 though.

So, what would famous+artsy be?

The HP35 is, sadly, retired. It got flakey after 40 years. Pity, it would still be my favorite calculator if it worked right. The "new" HP35 is awful, a sad parody of the original.
The 32 SII is OK. But nobody really needs a programmable calculator.

My '45 still works, sorta (haven't bothered to try to fix the power switch). I bought the 35S about four years ago and while it's not the original, it's better than any other calculator currently in production.
I have the 11C emulator (HP code running on the HP/Android simulator) for my cell phone. I love it, except buttons just don't feel the same.
There's a free programmable for the Android, too. I'd rather have the simpler
11C.
I beg to differ. While "big" programs are these days best done on PCs, I still find it quite useful to be able to find parallel resistor values using two keystrokes rather than, e.g., 1/x SWAP 1/x + 1/x -- five keystrokes. I still have a ton of little programs like this that reduce, say, 5-15 keystrokes down to 2 or 3 -- it's really quite nice.
In RPN, you hit r1 1/x r2 1/x + 1/x
which is four function keys. On a programmable calc, you have to locate and invoke the program, then hit r1 enter r2 enter which sounds worse to me.
I write PowerBasic programs for stuff like resonant circuits or RTD temperatures or whatever. They are permanent (don't depend on some specific calculator) and portable (run on any PC) and are commented/documented.

I think I see a tablet in your future if they get around to porting PowerBasic to it. :-)
Maybe they can port it so it runs in a browser!
