Not in that line, the 16C was it. The 15C was the engineering
model. What the world 'needs' is a 15C/16C hybrid, built in
the old style. Maybe without the matrix functions or something.
I have a place in my heart/life for a good _calculator_, if the
going gets heavy I'm going to reach for a computer anyway.

It was. The 12C holds the record for the longest-lived
production consumer electronics device, period. Made
essentially unchanged since 1981, and perhaps still in
production. I understand that this is partly because it
is one of the few certified-for-MBA calculators you can
buy. (That is, its financial algorithms are 'blessed'.)
