Notes:	This calculator is one of HEWLETT PACKARD’s landscape series of calculators, named the HP Voyager series. Extremely (and I mean extremely) robust calculators and some of them were quite successful too. What I find really amazing about this calculator series is the design, which is actually quite timeless and very elegant. If one calculator series deserves a design award it’s this series. Only HEWLETT PACKARD can create heavy duty casing with such elegance. The calculators in this series are: HP 10C HP 11C HP 12C HP 12c Platinum HP 12c Platinum 25th Anniversary Edition (this one) HP 12C Platinum 30th Anniversary Edition HP 12c Prestige HP 15C HP 15C Limited Edition HP 15C Collector’s Edition HP 16C The HP 12C Platinum 25th Anniversary Edition celebrates the 25th anniversary of the original HP 12C calculator. It features both the classic RPN mode RPN as well as NON-RPN mode ALG where the ENTER key turns into an = key. There even are parenthesis under the STO and RCL keys. Use the RPN function to switch it back to good old RPN mode. And this calculator it has a lower-case "c" in its name which is different from the older versions. An excellent overview by Eric Smith of al the hardware changes over time in this Voyager series can be found here on his website (link validated 2024-08-11) cached version here (just in case his server catches fire again).
