For those of us in science/engineering path, the HP-35 was as lust inducing as pretty coeds. To actually own one was to be both envied and hated. Not being able to afford the $200 or so it took to buy one, I bought the much cheaper TI-52. Turned out to be a great choice that carried me through my BSEE and well into my first job until it was replaced with the programmable TI-59. Unfortunately, being unable to envision there ever being a collectors market for these things, I got rid of both of them.
