Palm Pilots no longer exist as marketable items - smart phones took over their category of "use" with good enough tools no one needed a second Palm Pilot to carry with them. Compact digital cameras are also feeling the squeeze, smart phone cameras are often good enough now for what most used compact digital cameras for in the past that many no longer feel the need to carry a separate camera. I'm sure there are others that I can't think of right now. PS - If you'd like a 15C simulator for your PC, there is one here: http://hp-15c.homepage.t-online.de/content_web.htm
