]]> Comment on The HP-15C was reissued at long last! by Niels http://majid.info/blog/hp-15c-limited-edition/comment-page-1/#comment-27478 Niels Sun, 22 Apr 2012 06:04:05 +0000 http://majid.info/blog/?p=141242618#comment-27478 I found this post too late: I've just bought a 15C (which I couldn't test in the shop because it was wrapped up in a ridiculously pompous box), believing the vendor who said it was the same as the original - which turned out to be a false piece of information. I bought it to replace my 11C, which I've been using for about 30 years now, and I was looking for something of similar quality. But the new 15C is of such low quality, I only had to press one button to know it'snot going to last any length of time. The only point where it's ahead of its predecessor is speed - and that certainly doesn't compensate for the poor quality.

Back when I had my kids, only audio monitors were available, and those too advertised sensitivities in the megaHertz ranges. My mother was watching our son in our 3-story duplex and upon hearing the monitor go off, ran up 2 flights of stairs to check on him. He was sleeping soundly. This happened again and again he was fine. The third time, she heard a strange man's voice sleepily trying to calm his baby. Our monitor had been picking up the voice of another child crying, somewhere down the street! Ready for a funny story?

Is it possible to use this devise coupled to a "Apple Aiport Express" even if that one is not connected to the internet. My point is, the Bluetooth range is not wide enough. I would like to use the baby monitor in other place than at home (on vacation for example) where I do not have internet access. So I would plug an aiprot express to make a wifi network (without internet) in order to link the babymonitor with ipad or iphone. I hope my question is understandable and I do thank you very much in advance for your reply. Best regards, Fabien Hi,

They even have specialized bookshelves for standard-size paperbacks (think Folio) or CDs. Unfortunately, I had to leave them in my parents' basement when I moved to the US, and there doesn't seem to be any equivalent yet reasonably priced option in America.
