I don't think its "brand" as much as "Nostalgia". My university required all freshman to buy the 15c and it was the only calc allowed for tests. I used that calculator on every test, every homework project, and though some of the most stressful nights of my life. It became a trusted friend, and my favorite Good Luck Talisman every time I faced a mathematical test or challenge. I bought the emulator for nostalgia and to keep my good luck charm handy. On a sad note I CANNOT believe HP did not put the Manual in the "help" file. I lost my manual years ago and hoped the complete manual would be part of the download. I found a bootleg copy on the web but would be nice to have a high rez PDF of the manual as part of the help files on the app. If you know some folks at HP tell them they are screwing the pooch if they don't add that back (must include the programming section).
